Presumably Lucy doesn’t care so long as she leaves productive employment even after the Cards collapse with :
* Huge ante-Diluvian Bonuses and (better still – a post-Diluvian Bonus)
* £700,000 annual pension
* £Millions in share options
After all, you can’t get high quality Bankers unless you pay them modest incentives
AND we can always fire 1,000s of little people (probably labour-voters) to pay for this shambles
Of course, the Ministers of the Gouvernement-General of her Britannic Majesty (God Bless Her) “didnae ken” about all this
True, true. Nothing says Welfare Queen like a $700trillion bailout or whatever it is.
Well the taxpayer should get a quantum of satisfaction at seeing the boats, Rollses, and mansions their bailout money has turned into.
A falling tide still lifts yachts.
I fucking hate the bailout!….saying this as my house is about to be foreclosed on. Stupid fucking politics. Sorry I’m punchy tonight.
Call the bank and say “would you rather see the house go to an immigrant?” Banks are notoriously racist. You’ll get your renegotiated deal.
What a fabulous idea! And I can already hear their GASP as I say to them.
