However, the banks have caused the problem so tax the sodding banks, not the man at the coal face. George Osborne has been bleating that we all need to pay the price for the recession but millions of people up and down the country were nothing to do with it and those who saved prudently are now being hammered while the banks walk away with a pitifully tiny levy.
As I said, some sensible cuts are being made but if anyone can stand up and say with impunity that the banks have not got away lightly then let me hear them speak.

Well, I've come late into this conversation, (Been busy trying to find a bigger hole to bury my savings & other such bullshine), but so far, this seems to be the best quote in the whole thread.
Thank goodness, the Conservatives haven't dumped everything onto the less well off, or have they?...
(small print, magnifying glass needed?), or maybe the Liberals have kept them in line? (Nah, only there to make up the numbers).
At least they seem to be more tolerant of the less well off than Maggie ever was!
(Wasn't going to mention that Bitch but what the hey? Anything against her gets green karma from Mancie so I'm on a winner).
