What's this! The Government want to lend our money, via The Bank Of England, to the highstreet banks, so that?

....we can go to the banks to take out loans to borrow our own money that the Government lent to them in the first place..... and pay interest on our own money that they borrowed off us, for us to borrow from them???!!!!

Who are they kidding?

Sounds like cliche from an old Laurel & Hardy film!!

Yes I Know GM It Would Be More Like A Comedy Of Errors If It Wasn't So Serious And True.

No. It's not like someone came up to us and asked up to put £20 in the pot. It's taxes, they'll take it from us whether they need it for the banks or they need it to set up an art exhibition for armless Scandinavians. This is politics.

It's all bull, just think and concentrate on your own life that is what is more important. they have spent billions on war games that is really where all the money has gone and the fiddling bankers.

It sounds laughable but in reality it's far from funny...

See, they can ask to borrow my money but I have less than they do! I swerve the beggers like that, I do.... ;)
