		<description>If they spend it unwisely that is there problem, I&#039;d hope that their friends collegues or relatives would also be better off, sp maybe they can help out.
People have to be able to look after themselves.

And you would get something for your efforts, i&#039;ve just given you your house for Free, no more mortage to pay off.
I&#039;ve just wiped out all your credit card debts and loans.

Remember not every bank has failed.

Sheesh, there is no pleasing some people, I&#039;m not so sure I want to be PM now, I&#039;m not appreciated.

Ok, would you be happy if i did away with Income tax aswell by Printing all our worthless paper unbacked fiat money instead of Borrowing it At full face value from offshore banks, so you don&#039;t need to pay it back as income tax, that way, everything you earn, you and your family get to keep ( so if your brother falls on hard times, you are better placed to help him out and the state doesn&#039;t need to get involved so much ).

I don&#039;t need income Tax, I can ( for a while ) just print worthless paper and declare it legal tender, that&#039;s what Gordon is doing and use this to pay for a smaller state, like a slimmed down and efficient health service staffed by doctors and nurses, not managers. Perhaps a small centralised one for more expensive services, MRI scans etc while you pay your local GP privately like in the Good olde days.

And I&#039;m doing away with Inheritance Tax too, like income tax, it&#039;s theft, AND no more income tax forms to fill in EVER !!!!!

Besides most of the money we collect in Taxes simply goes to pay the wages of those doing the Collecting, what an utter utter pointless exercise that is !!!! who thought that one up.

And remember not every bank has failed.

The only Tax I want in return for all this is a 5% tax on all purchases, I&#039;m guessing 5% of all sales in the UK is still a pretty big number.
that way I can buy Gold and Slowly put our money back on a Gold standard over the next ten yrs.

No Wait, that won&#039;t work, Where will the gold come from, I mean who is going to swap our Worthless paper money, for Gold, only a complete and utter Idiot would do something that stupid.

So How am I going to get Gold / Silver / Precious metals into the country, to get my worthless paper currency back onto a Precious metal standard so I ( or anyone else ) can&#039;t just conjure the stuff up out of thin air like I am doing at present.

ahh wait I got it, Our Exports must be bought partly in precious metal, lets say 1% - 5% ( i&#039;m making this up as I go ) which is then taken by me as Tax and built up in the Treasury,
to slowly back our currency so that over time, 10 to 20 yrs, when I print off £100 billion it is actually worth something.

( I&#039;ll be changing the Locks as well Gordon )

The only fly in the ointment is that I&#039;m fairly sure we buy more than we sell overseas nowadays, but since the Gold wont be leaving the country anyway, maybe its not a problem, its purely there to gaurantee that our money is honest money.</description>

		<description>Adrian.
Good idea in theory, but those of us who have lived within our means all of our lives would then get nothing for our efforts.
Better if you want to redistribute all of the Country&#039;s wealth in one go, to divide the amount you percieve as being available, by the number of registered people who live in the country, and divide the total by this number.
We all then get the same amount to spend as we wish.
Problem.
Some will still go broke or want more !!!!!</description>

		<description>Look on the Bright side though, this time next year we will all be Squintillionaires, Luvvly Jubbly.

What I&#039;d like to know is, doesn&#039;t the Words Foreign or domestic mean anything to the British Army anymore.</description>

		<description>I am not sure who is doing the editing in the above.  My spelling and grammar are poor, (much to my father&#039;s despair), but I assume when I see parentheses (...), that the writer is adding information.  When I see brackets [...], I assume that is editing of the text.  Sorry to be picky.

I use ieSpell, and I still get it wrong, cos I&#039;m fick.

		<description>Stuart Fairney: &quot; as we are in a televisual age, is there any chance of putting up this blog on youtube?&quot;

No disrespect intended to our host, I do however think that everyone is getting a little carried away with Daniel Hannan&#039;s overnight success.

I think there were particular circumstances involved on that occasion. In fact Hannan said much the same when interviewed on the TV. A lot of people have noticed that Brown never listens, never answers the question, just spouts the same old drivel, &#039;getting on with the job&#039; [of destroying the country], so when Hannan stood up and told Brown to his face exactly what a lot of people knew to be true, it was a sensation.

In the US they have CSPAN, in the UK we have the pathetic Parliament Channel. That&#039;s where the effort should be.

Perhaps when we have clawed back the expenses related to pornographic films from (various MPs mentioned in cases currently subject to investigation) Maybe then there would be enough money to improve the BBC (spit) Parliament channel!

By the way, are we supposed to accept that Jackie Smiths husband has paid back the money and that is that?

If an MP  pays something  back, he knows it was dishonest to take it in the first place( words left out and changed - the individual may argue it was ill judged but not against the rules and therefore in his view not dishonest-ed).

Where else might a suspect  get an opportunity to repay  and walk free? (sentence changed-ed: there is an issue of does a dubious expense claim ever become theft?)

Perhaps we should get the home secretary on the case?</description>

		<description>Trouble is there is now no chance of there being any truth in anything being said by anyone in any of this.  You can&#039;t trust the government - it is in melt down - as having based its whole administration on lies, this tecnique has come back to bite it firmly in the arse. You can&#039;t trust the Bank of England, because its been found out and all its people will be in reputation saving mode.  You can&#039;t trust the FSA - actually you could NEVER trust the FSA.  It always has been nothing more than the provisional wing of New Labour&#039;s attack on wealth. You cannot trust the BBC to report this with any balance at all.  In fact the only bloke you might just be able to trust is the DBS chairman.

Gods knows how long we are going to have to put up with these lunatics, but be clear every day they are there thrashing about is another few squintillion down the tubes.</description>

		<description>Exactly.  Instead of giving the banks 20K (I reckon more like £40K) for each person in the UK - which in my household is £120,000 / £240,000 - give it us and we will make recovery happen.</description>

		<description>I forgot

To my knowledge The Chairman has given no interviews until today about the Treasury/ Scottish Office/ BoE (?) rescue talks.

Maybe you have access to televised interviews that we do not.

Reply They are the ones I have seen and was talking about.</description>

		<description>Repl

I did not say you had said that the DBS was exposed to US debt, it was the Vice Roy, James Murphy who said so.

As a mutual can they borrow from the market?

I repeat, get a hold of the interview on The Scottish Politics Show.</description>
