Tea and biscuits?

[Vesuvius 996]

ADOPT THE BRACE POSITION.

I AM NOT FOOKING JOKING.

[off_again]

A little premature?

Vote is NOT over as yet and still going to negotiation process. Initial vote has finished, but its not over till the fat lady sings.... as they say..... and no insult to the speaker by the way...

Everyone hates 'bankers'. Dollar slides. US banks go bust, taking European banks with them. Mortgages are sold off to nasty men in Russia/China/UAE who don't give a toss if you have only missed one payment and start repossession proceedings. Everyone gets really grumpy and some people get grumpy and cold. People forget their hatred of bankers and go back to hating estate agents.

This may all be bks though

Lets hope they can persuade some of the voters to change their minds.....It's amazing that turkeys really can vote for Christmas.

Is this is a no to the $700Bn?

Er yes. It's a no to the $700bn, proposed by Bush, but rejected largely by his own party. Great unity there.

I honestly don't think the Government should intervene - it's the slippery slope I tell you.

Perhaps but is the alternative worse?
