    You won't have to worry - It won't go through.

    It was very obvious from the start that it was a arm bender.

    Excuse what may seem a stupid question, but I am not too savvy when it comes to these things.
    If as a result of the US Congress no vote, the DJ index takes a big hit tonight. We assume the LSE will follow in the morning, but..........
    If we assume that the banks that were exposed to both the US sub-prime borrowing and the UK BTL etc. have been exposed and as a result have been nationalised and/or taken over.
    If there were no more banks in these difficulties, what are the implications for savers if the stock market takes a massive caning?
