Is the economy heading for a fall?

    the "economy" is a myth invented by polititians who are the servants of the super-rich. The system allows slavery to flourish dressed as opportunity for all. Don't believe me, well, do y' really want to work up to 18hrs a day just to pay the bills. Wouldnt y' rather be out huntin' fishin' or shootin', or paintin' (canvasses stupid) drinkin' or ridin' (y' motorbike), no! ah well, back on your heads you silly sheep.

    No change of attitude from the banks then to help the chancellors efforts by reducing interest rates. Last month Lloyds TSB offered me a loan at 7.7% and guess what they have just offered me another this month at 7.7%. How about you ~ankers passing on the interest rate reductions so we can actually afford the loans so we can go out and spend and save the world. The banks caused the problems, have been bailed out and are doing the same thing all over again.Rich become richer and the less well of just get by.

    I don't see the government selling up home, cutting tax down and more to help us out?

    Brown has put us there with knee jerk reaction to financial crisis. His looting of British investors money in the Isle of Man has all the hallmarks of a man who is desperate - how on earth did he ever become a Prime Minister. The man's a loose cannon and no economic recovery is going to happen till we put him in the Tower of London.

    On the brink of economic collapse?
    Yes
