    Let's hope Clown doesn't become the head of it, although if the past is anything to go by, it might happen, with Blair becoming a peace envoy in the middle east after Iraq.:rolleyes:

    they'll 1st have to target the politicians everywhere! bet that plan will be a non starter. lets see if they will make compulsory audits of all politicians and anyone in govt giving out contracts. obviously some people are more equal than others when it comes to taxation and fraud investigations. the bigger the fraud the more the chances of getting away scot free or being bailed out by the tax payer courtesy of the politicians.

    They don't say who this regulator is going to be. The IMF has been pushing for such a role to be created and for them to be given the job, but they don't get a mention in the BBC article.

    >They don't say who this regulator is going to be.<

    For security reasons the name of the Global Controller will not be made public. For practical purposes you may refer to the Global Controller as 'Father'.

    Father will shortly announce how hoarders (formerly 'savers') may report to their local Police to hand over all account details so their money may be used in the Global War. You will not be informed who is the enemy of Father.

    It's got to be Gordo ! - at least that will get him out of Downing St AND no one will take a blind bit of notice of him anyway.
