what i meant was that the government has just bought billions of pounds worth of shares in all the major banks, using taxpayers' money, in order to avoid any banks going bust. taxpayers now own about 30% of all the major banks. Were we consulted? no. Where will this money go? To pay the bonuses of coke snorting bank CEOs, i suspect.
In addition to this fuel prices are going up in time for winter and so are mortgages, how's that, since all the banks are now flush... with our money, the same taxpayers who have to meet the mortgage repayments...
