UK Banks could still be nationalised!

British banks face nationalisation if £400bn bailout fails

Senior UK sources at the IMF in Washington gave strong hints tonight that if the British Government's £400 billion bailout fails, the only option left to stabilise the economy and financial system could be wholesale nationalisation of the UK banking system.

I'll start to worry when [strike]Lord Haw-Haw[/strike]Peston blogs that nationalisation is being 'considered' and he's taking instructions that the sheeple need softening up.

    Nah, it's the International Socialists/Fabians/Common Purpose cabal.
  • This is all part of a conspiracy concocted by those weirdos known as, Morons. Once their dastardly plans have come to fruition, we will all be forced to become Morons, and forced to go on a yearly pilgrimage to Salt Lake City. :rolleyes:

    There is a strong possibility of another "Reichstag Fire Incident" to serve as the pretext for introducing measures that accelerate the crisis.
