Why is it that those who have got this country and the world in the mess it is today continue to do the same by creating false rumours that the bank will be nationalised. Does the government not have enough on its hands already with Northern Rock. What the government has proposed today may not work but atleast it is better than doing nothing, the collapse of these banks will effect every indiviual whether rich or poor!
It is time these indivuiduals who create this false sense of in security and doom be ignored!
