Militwat was only half right. I've heard lots of people say how dismal Broon is, but remarkably few talk about how they want that nice Mr Bliar back.

If people started queuing up outside their own banks tomorrow and asking to withdraw their money, the terrible truth would come out that NR is not the only bank in trouble, and that our savings do not exist in any real form.

All of this procrastinating with NR is just about keeping joe depositer docile, and stopping yet more runs on other banks which would cause a systematic collapse.

Very very smelly!!!!

The government will also endorse covered bonds as well as repurchases of mortgages by the bank from its Granite securitization trust.

Who IS protecting who - and from what?

£25 Billion? £100 Billion?

Anyone need a few bob to keep warm this Winter?

Any children living in poverty and hungry?

Any soldier needing up-to-date equipement?

Farepak?

Pension?

Insurance?

It speaks volumes for the level of confidence in this government's promises and undertakings that the flight of money from Northern Rock simply continued and continues virtually unabated notwithstanding the socalled guarantees put in place by the Treasury. And why on earth SHOULD depositors trust this government or the pronouncements of the FSA, both of which have been so manifestly incompetent in regulatory matters concerning the banks or the world of pensions and insurance.

Perhaps if Gordon Brown had made even the slightest effort to be truthful, fair and open in his treatment of those who lost their pensions in the failed corporate schemes, or those who were so dreadfully let down by regulation of Equitable Life, consumers of financial products may be a little more willing to accept that 'guarantee' or 'protection of depositors' meant what it stated, instead of yet another empty promise from this morally bankrupt government.

Northern Rock's very real problems may indeed have been caused by the adoption of a reckless financial model, which hit the buffers when the wholesale money markets closed down, for reasons outsode the Rock's control, but what on earth is financial regulation all about if it is not to police and control such reckless behaviour? The chickens are coming home to roost, and we had better all hope that sanity will start to prevail in the financial markets soon, because I personally have very little confidence that Brown or Darling have a clue how to repair confidence that has been so irretrievably shattered in both the Rock, and this government.

Mr The Berserk,

I suspect you one of the kids who sslept through Stinker Snodgrass's science lessons. Water does not have to boil for evaporation to take place.

If it did, how do you explain clouds? Surely it can't be from all those kettles being boiled to make nice cups of tea.

Woman in White Coat,

You say I can live and work in another country and manage to claim incapacity benefit? This sounds interesting.

International Unobtainium Conglomerated pay me a decent wodge to rape Mother Earth and grind the faces of the Gromboolian proletariat into the (asbestos laced) dust, but I'm always open to new sources of income. Especially unearned ones.

Can you provide details of how one goes about this?

Can we look forward to some developements in
Scottish Donorgate prop Wee Wendy Alexander;
Durhamgate and Duggie Alexander, Phaingate prop Peter Hain, Harpersongate prop Harriet Harpic; Northern Rockgate prop Darling Gordon,
Discgate prop Darling
Floodgate prop Benn
Discgate the sequel - prop Roof Kelly.
FU All - or EUgate - no referendum.
New(t)gate - Lee and Ken.

So if the NuLab trolls think that this shower of shite has got away with it so far, they are sadly mistaken. But then again some of them are probably consuming the white powder lost by HMRC in Coventry...

2007-12-17T23:45:00.000Z

The funny thing is, we all KNEW he'd be a terrible Prime Minister and yet it happened anyway.

What I find the most amusing is how the Brown Spinners make out that the current string of predicaments is "bad luck". Actually, if we're talking about "luck", that was the initial Brown Bounce which defied all expectations. That was a spate of "good luck". What we have now is the grim truth. It's not luck, it's just plain, gritty reality.

Go, Gordon. Just go.

Gordon got his sums wrong again today.

Responding to the SNP MP winding him up about Kosovan independence he said that 2/3's of Scots didn't support independece.
This the day after a poll showed support for independence at 40% and opposition at 44%.

Whoops!

He's even out of touch with Scotland never mind reality.

Oh and the Scottish LibDem leader has just gone and screwed his chances of being re-elected by pissing off the Aberdeen business community by accusing Salmond of sleaze over a constituency meeting he had with Donald Trump.

2007-12-17T19:43:00.000Z

I don't quite agree with the premise. The wheels were coming off anyway, Bliar's ability to lie had been fully discredited. Bliar got out at the last possible moment ie before the economy's downturn was evident by the sub-prime collapse. Brown inherited a gold-plated turn more brown than shiny.

@bhownaggree

The number of people seeking jobless benefits in the UK has fallen to a 32-year low, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.
The number claiming jobseeker's allowance fell by 11,100 in November to 813,000, the lowest since June 1975.

Führerbunker, May 1945.

@robbierotton

I understand Ruth Kelly has lost Swansea. Police have mounted a search of Glamorgan - but are baffled by this latest security lapse. A junior official denied sending the city in an unencrypted format by regular post.

That's next week.

Twenty? Twenty? You couldn't get a Ryanair to Rhyl for that. There's been inflation you know, and that's all the Tories' fault for their disastrous running of Black Wednesday. The price of encouraging unlawful non-domiciles home has risen to £4,000 a head. Cheaper than a court-case, so there.

Prudence. Accountability. [Beams] Transparency.

Looks like 2008 will be the year of Brown's 10% smash and grab raid on savings accounts to try to save Britain's army of over-indebted wasters, including the government.

Mr Reddings plan is to make sure that no woman of childbearing age is ever employed by a rational employer.

This means that life on benefits or a career in a state non-job awaits. Both options are much more likely to produce a ZanuLabour voter.

2007-12-17T17:05:00.001Z

Brown's loss of support among women seems a paradox. He's at 29%, versus Cameron's 49% (YouGov, sample from 13th/14th Dec). This is despite Cameron's promise to pull out of the social chapter of the EU on worker's rights, which guarantees such things as protection for pregnant women and part-time workers.
