In the news

Typical politicking from Osborne to hide this bad news. Things are not looking good for him in general at the moment.

The linked article states "To be fair, Osborne was right on one thing. We were “forced” to bail out the banks that caused the crisis, in what was a total insult to British democracy.", and personally I wouldn't feel confident in saying that keeping the shares and waiting for them to increase in value would have resulted in better returns for the taxpayer.

Anyway what do you're mean you're not so keen on the source? The Canary is the only balanced reporting I can find, what with the BBC being a mouthpiece for the tories, and the Guardian trying to bring down Corbyn.
