    Jackie hubby was hoping against hope that LibDems didn't get in as he works in the bank and one of their policies was to split the banks up and have seperate banks for financial and investments. He reakons his bank would end up moving to Hong Kong where they have their main head office. Although they could still end up doing that if Gordon Brown starts yapping on about taxing the banks etc..

    "Good morning, Eeyore," said Pooh.
    "Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning, which I doubt," said he.
    "Why, what's the matter?"
    "Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it."
    "Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.
    "Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush."

    No; he had to stand down when he stood for Mayor.

    Natty all the major parties are going to impose a tax on the banks.

    If it was up to me I'd be sending the banks a bill for the whole national debt.They caused the mess and they should flaming pay for it
