All making hefty profits.
Something stinks about this entire drama.
Only one thing is certain.
It was a damn good story.

As the banks don't actually appear to be lending money anymore (to either individuals or businesses) - how do they make their money?

I'm very careful not to pay them anything I don't need to - even switching cred cards a couple of times when they tried to introduce charges.

"dreadful places banks. A scourge and usurers."

That was my father's quote.

He would have known- he was the MD of one for 30 years.

GERALD CELENTE the famous TV finance expert in the USA called them "BANKSTERS" and said 2008 was the biggest BANK JOB ever.

The BANKS pretended to have no money in order to STEAL from ordinary people our taxes over the next 20 years - thus giving them bigger and bigger profits.

The MUGS were "BUSH and BROWN" who were too thick to realise that PAULSON etc were "playing them" and this "Crash" stuff was the stuff of movies and not reality.

We should have let them go under.

Now we have HIGH TAXES - LOW WAGES and mass unemployment and underemployment. Yet the banks continue to rake in the BILLIONS in profits.

Time for a revolution.

Banks - deficit - we have no money...
Bollocks.
It's all a good story but total lies.
"We have no money" - so who is paying MPs, Police, Hospitals?
Deficit - we must pay it back. To who? Why? It's incomprehensible bollocks.
Life goes on exactly as before.
