Yoghurt Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Stuff  Righty went away did some research... Some media outlets say that the man is' all that is wrong' with banking?  This is despite building a company through nothing to become an intergral part of the profitability of said bank and maintaining the liquidity of said bank through these uncertain times.. and most importantly Barclays hasnt fucked up yet.  All this while being the 'Casino Man and High Roller' and detremental to banking.. Er if he is successful and everyone else fucks up how exactly is that detremental????  I think its nothing more than petty jealously on behalf of everyone else who begrudges that he didnt fail when the rest did.  Bank not in trouble gives star performer payrise for doing job bloody well by all accounts and risk taking and getting away with i.  If it had crashed and burnt you may have had a point. It hasn't so you haven't.  Bingo was his name-o. It's easier too attack bankers because they're largely successful and high earners living a better lifestyle etcetera than it is for these people too take a closer look at their own profligate spending, which is something. People wrapping their jealousy up in classist ideas, reverse snobbery is still snobbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Wow, quite the patronising so-and-so, aren't you? Well, someone has to say it. Â I see the kind of responses that such cuts warrant in places like Greece, Spain, Portugal & Italy, yet the morons in Britain are happy to sit back and accept whatever we get thown at us. Â We saw over a million people hit the streets of France because their Government plan on moving the age of retirement from 60 to 62. Â Our Government want to scrap the retirement age of 65, and what do we do? Â Fuck all. Â Cameron says that "we are all in this together", which is the biggest fucking joke since Blair & Bush claimed Iraq had WMD's. Â Quick question mate, are you the lad who was saying a while back that you weren't working? Â Bingo was his name-o. It's easier too attack bankers because they're largely successful and high earners living a better lifestyle etcetera than it is for these people too take a closer look at their own profligate spending, which is something. People wrapping their jealousy up in classist ideas, reverse snobbery is still snobbery. No, it's easier to attack bankers because they fucked up. Â After the Government taking our money and bailing them out, they see fit to resume business as usual when it comes to wages & bonuses now that they are managing to generate a profit. Â Meanwhile, we'll be seeing council cuts unlike anything seen in the past 80 years or so. Â Have a read and see what life was like in the UK during the early 30's.

Places like France and Spain are simply more forward thinking and modern than the English in terms of Law and Politics, and by the sounds of things can think fo themselves a lot more and speak up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I disagree. Â The fact that they aren't prepared to give up on the retirement age being raised without a fight would suggest to me that they are doing the exact opposite of simply giving up. Â As far as i'm concerned, we have a cheek in this day & age to refer to any nation having a penchant to "give up" when we have done the square root of fuck all to combat anything our Government has thrown at us. Â The last time Britain actually stood up and said "this isn't on" was probably the poll tax protests and the Liverpool 47. Â Our middle & working classes are a disgrace compared to what has gone before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until WWI, the French had a pretty damn impressive military record, in comparison to which only we were competitive. Also, claiming the French "always surrender" like the Yanks like to claim is bollocks - the activities of the Maquis attest to that. It's all very well for us to talk about surrender, but we had the English Channel posing a major barrier to a full-on onslaught from the Nazis, something Belgium, Holland, and France didn't have. Â In terms of labour militancy, the French have a stronger tradition than we do, stemming from the days of the Revolution. "Libert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 I presonally am against most forms of protest, strike etc as what really is the point of protesting against Government cuts? Do you really think the Government are doing it to spite us or simply to line their own pockets? In most cases it is become it is the only viable option. Christ, I never knew someone could be so naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
