G20 demonstrations

By that argument though. These people were happy to take from the hand when it was feeding. But now that hand has closed, they are protesting against it? That is hypocrisy is it not

I don't know any people who have yet to be made redundant, thankfully, but I agree there are many, and the worse is yet to come. But, a lot of these people do not help themselves. I have a friend who works in he city and makes a fair bit of cash. But the things he wastes his cash on is scandalous. Lobster and £100+ bottles of wine for lunch. The most expensive holidays. Flash cars- mostly on credit.

People have a responsibility to themselves not to spunk their money on this shit and to think about the future. Cos when it all goes tits up. They won't be getting any sympathy from me

True. I was made redundant a month ago (i have a new job starting in a weeks time), the company I worked for had no debts and was very very succesful. This was because the product we made was far superior to the competition. None of our customers can now afford it, company fucked. This was through no fault of mine yet still I was under the threat of having my house reposessed if I had not managed to find another job.
I used to work for RBSI and everything that is going on now was predicted atleast 5 years ago.

I agree about not spunking away your money and that each and every individual has a responsibility to keep themselves in check financially, but when you can walk in of the street and be told by a qualified financial advisor that you can easily afford a stupidly overpriced house etc you tend to believe what you are benig told.

Yoda was wrong, it is greed and not fear that leeds to the dark side.
