You do talk some first class twaddle.
Where have the banks been throwing money around like confetti??...certainly not to businesses...the small ones, the one who need the money. If they had been throwing money around the perhaps we would have a better growth forecast........ah, but you mean paying bonuses...why don't you say what you mean? Instead of us having to second guess.

The banks are businesses and can choose to pay what they like in the way of bonuses....however much we might disagree with this practice, it is what happens...get over it, because in real terms there isn't much else that we can do about it........no political party wants to listen to the electorate in respect of this....maybe you might remember this next time an election comes around......and ask the candidates what they would do about it if elected.......of course, they will spin you a line and do burger all.

Thomas Cook must have satisfied their banks criteria in order to get their credit extended(Banks do not lend money unless they have decent chance of getting it back).......and it is only the UK operations that are making a loss.

To be honest I think you should refer all your post to joke of the day thread really, I get more laughs out of you than I ever got out of Tommy Cooper

I used to have a company and am now retired. A company's assets are included in the end of year profit/loss. Banks usually ask their customers to have their premises valued regularly. I expect properties in the high streets have plummetted somewhat and that would be reflected in the profit/loss figures.

Sorry, I think your wrong, if they were greedy and selfish they wouldn't want anyone to join, that would mean 'sharing'.

Your statement is somewhat an oxymoron

[ToffeeGuy]

Oh yeah, sorry. The Tory motto is:-
"If you're selfish and greedy join us. (Plus it helps if you're millionaire with attitudes from the 19th century)"

So Labour's motto must be ' let's spend all the money and screw up the next government'

'Oh yeah'. Is that Old English you're using(as in Town Crier) or do you just have a spelling problem?
By the way,if you read the Daily Mail you'd know the Tories were nothing like that!

[ToffeeGuy]

The most progressive times for this country have come under Labour governments.

The Tories simply want to protect the vested interests of the ruling elite. You could argue that New Labour did the same but at least they gave some crumbs to the poor. This lot want to keep the crumbs as well.
