you lot were quite happy to leave ...what a prick! <br /><br />you lot were quite happy to leave it to the markets when you were making money. Low taxes you said for the rich!!<br /><br />Lets nto forget even NOW Manufacturing in this country pays MORE tax than the financial industry. 13% of total corporate tax take as opposed to 10% for you leeches. Yet the trouble you cause. When Rover went tits up you guys stated emphatically that it was a private business and Government should nto get involved. How many tens of thousands of people lost their jobs in the area? How many people commited suicide afterwards?! Then what happens your gambling fucks the economy and suddenly out come your begging caps. You dont go for a solution that involves government spending to create jobs and lower peoples debts, you want the money directly. You give us £1.2 TRILLION of liabilities, enough to pay the debt of the ENTIRE UK, and then you go and take massive TAX PAYER supplied bonuses. When you suck that cocaine from the child hookers chest, remember it is most likely an £5/hour cleaner or burger chain workers tax that has paid for it! I hope you all DIE!Vishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139297432394866560.post-75237856018069831782009-10-15T22:52:59.475+01:002009-10-15T22:52:59.475+01:00It's all about flow of capital innit?It's all about flow of capital innit?Noddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139297432394866560.post-40785915156952686222009-10-15T22:15:26.972+01:002009-10-15T22:15:26.972+01:00So, they drive up property prices, then sell us th...So, they drive up property prices, then sell us the back-breaking mortgage now necessary to buy it. <br /><br />They break your legs, and expect you to be grateful if they sell you a wheelchair.<br /><br />They really do live in their own world, don't they?
