For the last week or so it’s been nothing but failing systems this and bail outs that and yet very little factual, straight forward explanations.
I understand that the Financial system of the worlds banking system is complex (and I am far from a genius at any rate) but the questions I have that aren’t being answered are quite simple:
a) How come the governments have all this money to bail out the financial system but cancer sufferers in this country are being refused drugs for treatment?
b) What happens if the bail outs fail? Should I be purchasing a gun and some razor wire?
c) What will be done in the long run to make sure that 5 years down the line we’re not in the same mess?
Instead of straight forward answers all we get are soundbites and speeches and I am sick of it.
The people most effected by this will be the ones at the bottom of the ‘pyramid’ and I get the feeling that we are being kept in the dark because if we knew the truth of the situation then we’d probably string the buggers up from the lamp posts for playing games with the stuff that we work so damn hard to make a little of.
Our society needs to start holding it politicians and it’s financial institutions to account for their actions and stop being in awe of the men in suits in ‘the city’.
If a bank fails to look after the money it has offered to look after then, whilst everything must be done to ensure that the people who’s money it is get what they should, the stupid feckers who fecked up should be hauled over the coals, given a good proverbial bollocking and sent to work in Aldi until the appreciate the responsibility that comes with the fancy suit and the expenses dinners.
RANT OVER!
