With over £100 billion out of play on a yearly income of just £600 billion, it does seem likely, especially if it is the government, not the financial experts, like the Bank of England, who are running the show.

I was astounded to learn from the recent Dispatches programme on Channel 4, that the BoE had no real knowledge or concern about the US sub prime mortgage market, despite repeated warnings about its viability. The bank was portrayed as an old-school institution, versed in the culture of safe banking that has characterised our country for generations, but no so au fait with the smoke and mirror get rich quick schemes perpetrated by the current crop of financial shysters, of which the British banks seem to be the biggest players.

The ill fated business venture of buying up tracts of land unseen. The venture collapsed with huge debts, leaving many people ruined. Historians suggest that this crisis bankrupt Scotland and was a precursor to the Act of Union.
