Exactly ... regulation ... now you are thinking like a Canadian ...
Over here, the banks and financial institutions are rock solid ... 
And I think that you are right about the fact that govts. are facing an economic dilemma .... thing is, this recession will end sooner or later, probably in spite of what govt. does. What people should be thinking is "what then"? What can be done to make sure it doesn't happen again? The govts. didn't get us into this mess ... tho' they didn't do much to prevent it ... big business did it out of greed, acting in a vacuum created by conservative govts. (Ronnie Raygun is much to blame for this ... and Thatcher of course) who let them go to it. Well paid industrial jobs were exported to countries with a labour force that was prepared to work for low wages in atrocious conditions ... this in the name of Globalization. This left workers at home without well-paid jobs. The problem that arises is that now they are not able to consume at the same level. This put pressure on the national economies ... and what came along to replace well paid jobs? Easy credit. A house of cards ... smoke and mirrors. This recession was inevitable.
cuts... more cuts in the places that the well off Tories live in.. and the fairytail world that Jaysay lives in..these people have no idea how much tax payers money was spent in the riegn of Thatcher employing management consultants .. bilions..billions spent on the basic ideal that no indvidual can cope without management... because we are all inept!... the likes of these Tories should be shot at close range..they have but have but one aim.. to destroy any person that has the guts to improve.. but they do have pig stupid cap tippin farmhands that can type.

Sometimes I really worry about your one sided slant on everything, this present government has spent more on management consultants taken on more civil servants and formed more Quangos for their mate than any government in history, these friends of yours are biggest chislers in history and but the ironic point is that when Brown and Co are kicked out of office they'll leave the usual S*** Tip which follows every failed Labour administration, only this time the debt which they'll leave is the biggest in history and will see our grandchildren's children still paying it of when they retire
I have not quoted Macies post because I think it's the biiggest load of crapology I have ever come across.
I think when our chosen one's take to the hustings and questions are asked about public spending and expenses, they will find that there is nowhere to hide.

the thing is it says public spending it doesnt say about the billions its giving their mates in the private sector
i know its a crazy idea but how about stop spending money on other countries well being and spend it on our own.
no need to increase spending just divert the money where it should be goijng in the first place.
It beggers belief that our government sends money to ensure kids get an education in other countries while our own system is failing so bad

Couldn't agree more...its ridiculous that the Foreign aid budget is actually being increased over the lifetime of this Parliament from around £7 Billion per year to around £12 Billion per year!

'Over the same period, other recipients of British development aid have included Slovenia, Malta, the Czech Republic and Hungary, all highly developed First World countries, fellow members of the EU, and two of whom are even in the euro. In the last year for which figures are available, Britain also gave £380,000 in aid to the enormously wealthy oil sheikhdom of Saudi Arabia.'
Did Britain really need to give millions to the wealthy state of Singapore? - Telegraph
Yes, Saudi Arabia!
Read it and weep.

I'm waiting for Gaddafi's son to go on trial, should be interesting
Your not suggesting a conspiracy are you MargaretI expect someone will 'do a Jack Ruby' on him before he has chance to say anything, or he will have a convenient 'heart attack'
