G20 + a trillion dollars = Hedgefunder’s aren’t so bad , and honest people put money in to tax havens , is the according to the B.B.C Financial program the equation for putting the world right , but unfortunately I suspect only for those with a goldfish memory span :)
I personally think we’ve all been globally had - here , as politicians now seek to bail out the financial sector on a world wide basis !!!, amid the embarrassing backdrop of Sarcozy the clown , acting like a drama queen ……………………………
I seriously doubt any of that money will filter down to the ordinary taxpayers , and yes stocks have skyrocketed but that does not help the man in the street , merely those that created the crisis in the first place !!!
Meanwhile the political bandwagon now moves on to Strasbourg , and in to NATO’s 60th birthday summit , having wasted a “mere” £7.5 million on security in the U.K. , and what next I wonder - the third anniversary of Joe Smiths corner shop - celebrations :)
I can’t help but parody Gordon Brown to Neville Chamberlain in 1939 with his piece of paper containing empty promises , as there is no binding or indeed any fixed legislation in the G20 agreement as far as I can see - just promises and pledges , which are to be overseen by the usual collection of toothless, regulatory bodies
………………….. plus ca change – indeed .
Open Fire …………………
I see in the news one of our Police “friends “ from up the sports centre has been under investigation for selling 100’s firearms to the public.
I’ll explain - In the U.K. we have a voluntary system where by the public hand in unwanted gun’s for destruction , i.e. the Luger that Uncle Jack brought back from the war in 1945 , which has lain in the attic collecting dust ever since.
Now instead of destroying these weapons this “enterprising” officer has been selling them on to an unsuspecting public , and this had only came to light when other officers attended a burglary in which a shotgun was stolen , and the owner said he had originally bought it off the Police !!! .
Need less to say this is all under tight wraps at the moment with nobody saying anything , but it all comes out in the wash as they say , rather like the two officers who recently decided to take a trip to London in their patrol car to visit some gals , got in a fight , and were promptly arrested – I kid you not.
………….and now of course the temptation is to walk in to the gym and say
………….”have any of you boys got any shooters for sale " ????? :)
