    Whilst I completely see where IM & purch are coming from, the worry I'd have is there could be some form of anarchistic backlash here because of the public perception of this news.

    There's a lot of angry people out there, & this'll make em angrie... oh !!!!!!, wrong thread!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    The banks have stolen our money.


    It's as simple as that.

    And as long as we have a debt-based money system, corrupt government and a population obssessed with house prices and x-factor rather than the things that really matter they will keep on doing it.

    And each time it will get worse.
