Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Is that some sort of analogy? :-)

After the Jubilee frenzy is over, it would be reasonable to bring the guillotine out again.

(Not literally speaking!)

Didn't read your post Fred , to long.

I like Prince Charles he has a good sense of humour, but i wish he stopped hunting & shooting animal's and bird's for sport.

The Royal family does a good job , how much would it cost to promote this country around the World if it was left to a big company to do it . Some of the minor Royal parasites should not get paid.

Alds,

Don't worry about it. it may have stretched your critical thinking powers a little too far anyway.

Have a nice weekend and make sure you get enough rest.

No it wasn't that , just my boredom powers that were stretched.

Latest Pub Comment,

Putting the Tory government in charge of City and Financial Market reforms would be like putting the Mafia in charge of the Criminal Courts.

Or Gordon Brown in charge of our Gold reserves.

Or blaming your mother for your actions,

Or blaming Labour for spending all our money!

Or blaming Heath for going into Europe.

Or expecting the EC to bail out the UK for this government incompetent economic policy.

I hear the PR PM Dauntless has had his instructions from Cayman islands and is preparing another U-turn.

For your God's sake Hays, tell him to think, or preferably get advice before any more utterances.

He is becoming an embarrassment for you!

Ps.

Why have a budget if you are going to reverse the policies a couple of weeks later?

No wonder business and industry have no faith in this government.

Have a look close to home at the Irish economy and the effects of austerity, proudly boasted by Osborne and cronies.

Slight edit 8-)

I think the Welsh wind bag is clutching at straw's again.

There are so many Welsh Labour wind bags, it is difficult to work out which one you mean.

Sink, or swim?

In, or out?

Left, or Right?

Yes, or No?

Enquiry, yes?

Enquiry, no?

Who knows?

Who ‘s in charge?

Who’s in control?

That's the one

David Cameron announces banking industry inquiry


What is he hiding, or hiding from?

Why won’t he have a full public enquiry similar to the Leveson enquiry?

Unless he does, much of the public will think the results will a cover up to protect his friends

While the enquiry is running Parliament can continue to legislate and attempt to root out the cowboys and corruption in the city in general.


Is another U-turn going to be forced on these "mobsters", when once again he iis finally forced to listen to public opinion.

Don't forget these banking 'tricks' were done during Labour's time around 2005.

The last government made a lot of mistakes, some of which I criticised at the time.
But they also did a lot to repair some of the costly failings and mistakes of the previous administrations.

(I was critical of PFis and Iraq in particular. Look back.)

The labour party did bring reforms around that period, but should have gone further. One of the reasons for not doing so was that a large portion of the “city” was against further restrictions and regulations. Also, the tory party screaming against attempts for stricter regulations and crying for a freer deregulated market.

The government did duck the problems which were seen and spoken about by others at the time

But, this tory party has had more than two years to investigate and bring in stringent rules. On this occasion I doubt that the present cabinet members of the present government are culpable of any offences.

The “offences” over the LIBOR is down to those who acted “irresponsibly” or “criminally” and “failed” to provide sufficient overview.
However, one of the first steps when accepting responsibility leadership is to accept the responsibility of the position and stop blaming others for one's own failings.

Not to forget past mistakes, but to stop blaming them for present actions.

This government is stumbling from one disaster to another, with a headless chicken in charge of it.

A little more honesty and less arrogance from Cameron would be more appropriate and helpful.
