Banks and other speculators just gamble with other people's money, reaping huge rewards when the going is good with no real prospect of going bust as the Government can't afford them too! It encourages them to take bigger and bigger risks and now boom... or rather, end of boom.

Who owns the banks? Their profits pay dividends. Put aside the irritation of stupid bonuses for the people in charge. The money goes to the investors, the investors are mainly pension funds. Who has an interest in pensions? Now you are getting there. The boom has gone into most people pensions, and now the bust is taking their value down again. We could watch the economy disintegrate, but we pick up the tab one way or another. We are the staff, the investors, the bailout. We are the economy.

Privatised Profit

Nationalised Debt

Scenario...

On an emotional level I agree with Phube but there is a lot in what JTH is saying.

Although a lot of us were worried about the level of govt. spending and the amount of easy credit given to the financially illiterate there is no doubt we've all benefited from the boom of the last 10 years. Now the shit's hit the fan we've all going to have to suffer a bit too.

As with most problems, the way to solve it is to pretend the problem doesn't exist at all. Not so much ignoring it, but just an outright refusal to accept there is a problem.

Ignorance is bliss.

All those old people who keep all their cash in a suitcase under the bed cos they don't trust banks might not be so daft after all.

Except the ones who let the 17-year-old grubby, tattooed, tracksuit-wearing man from British Gas in who then whacks them over the head & steals their life savings. Mind, it's usually one or two. This time a country who's national delicacy is rotting shark carcus is trying to stiff thousands.

They will not get £2000 from me, I would rather quit my job and eat dog shit.

Don't rush to order the dog chod, Ric - although they're lending taxpayers money (which will push up government borrowing massively in the short term) a lot of the funding is buying preference shares in the banks, giving the tax payer a share of future profits - it's not being used just to fill a black hole.

At what price did that nice Mr Brown sell Treasury gold for? I wouldn't rely on this lot or the Tories to make any sound commercial decisions. :whistle:

Looks like a load od councils are going to lose a lot of money in the Icelandic banking system meltdown.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/finance...ds-at-risk.html

This is really quite appalling and an elementary error. Whilst I feel for those savers with their money in the Icelandic banks, there were question marks over how safe the Icelandic banking system was. A year and a half ago, I looked at one of those Icesave accounts because of the high interest rate. In the end I decided against it because the Icelandic banks were being run like large hedge funds that would crash should something go wrong. Now it's east to say in hindsight, but this wasn't in hindsight and many others felt the same. Now it appears some councils have lost small fortunes. Great.

fair play to the icelanders who may be complete inbreds and suffering from seasonal disorder due to having 5 minutes of sunlight a day for most of the year but who else could come up with a wheeze to borrow another country's money in the form of deposits via a branch of their national bank amounting to a multiple of hundreds of times GDP then use the dosh to buy up household names like hamleys, karen millen etc , waste a load of it on shite like west ham then when the depositors come to withdraw their money the feckers announce that they can all feck off and look to their own governments compensation scheme as the gravy train has not only hit the buffers but is stuck half way up reykjavik high street- nice one!
