As well as those with their own limited companies who pay themselves fuck all and then top up with quarterly dividends...
Result!

The reason we're in this mess is because there was a panic in the markets, no? The government stepped in and saved the banks, now we're in huge debt...
Sorry if I missed something...

Yes - it is only right that the most vulnerable and dispossessed pay more heavily than the rich who caused this.
Min tax bracket widened..

You missed the bit about the banks not being able to resist lending to people who couldn't afford the repayments...
This isn't quite accurate. A number of banks in the US had Sub-prime departments who actively sought out retail customers who were likely to default on residential property mortgages. Capital appreciation + Repos = boon.

and all just so they could head down the pub and tell their mates they drive a BMW ...dickwads
I personally like to blame the cunting landlords who buy up all the affordable property then, rip you off and fo sho will be raising the rent while my pay stays the same and VAT rises.
I say blame but i'm really just jealous.
Anyone need an experienced-ish barman, i'll work for cheap and even clone the odd bank card if needs be (just kidding, this is an epic c**t when it happens), i can also put on a european or portuguese accent if needs be.

The bankers got us in this mess, but the whole country was on a credit binge - think about all the people with credit agreements they can no longer afford on 50 inch plasmas from currys, or cars, or kitchens etc etc. All of that consumer finance is a bomb ready to explode.
We are were we are, we can blame whoever, but we all have accept cuts to get us back on trackBankers bankers bankers.. meh.. so they're cunts.
What about the fuckheads across the globe buying stuff they can't afford that caused the bad debt in the first place?

I agree that plenty of people went berserk on credit.
But why should every other fucker suffer on their account?
And that Robin Hood Tax sounds like a fucking good idea to my uneducated ears, so why isn't it implemented?
No, it's back to taxing the shit out of the working cash cows.
I agree something had to give, tighten our belts, etc... but I'd like to see the banks paying some as well.The banks have been forced to pay £2 billion per year.. do pay attention..

I still have in excess of £70K instantly available pre-approved credit on three credit cards and an overdraft facility. Never asked for it, always encouraged to use it, and that doesn't include loan offers dropping on my door mat every other day. Yep, those banks really have got their shit together...

i think they should make it policy that anyone who strikes should be sacked on the spot.
i dont understand it, if you dont like your job/working conditions go somewhere else.

exactly the people who took out huge loans maxed their credit cards at 16.9% are the ones to blame here

The banks aren't approving home loans to people with 10% deposits any more whereas a few years ago you could borrow 105% of your property value!
