Have we all forgotten that people and businesses defaulting on their debts was what brought on this recession in the first place?
The Citizens Advice Bureau, and organisations like it, help people manage their debts. Without them I believe there would be a huge increase in defaults, more bank bailouts and in addition, all the concomitant expensive social mess to pay for.
It's idiocy at it's most staggering.
Certainly looks like penny pinching in the extreme and aimed at a sector that is attempting to counter the area that many assume created this mess for us in the first place. Never mind only 165 billion or was that 1 Trillion or even 2.5 Trillion to go :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

another decent article, with some decent stats...It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
The more decisions they announce, the more I become convinced that this government are idiots. Nobody seems to think things through to the inevitable consequences of these actions. It's all theoretical ideological politics. Quite honestly, you would think they didn't live in the real world.

You're quite right, of course. What sort of idiotic government continually spends billions of pounds of public money when it doesn't exist, creating massive deficits (after they inherited surpluses) and cultivating a spendthrift 'live beyond our means' culture?
Absolutely, these governments don't think through the inevitable consequences of their actions.

No 2 in the bottom photo is Nat Rothchild a famous name in the banking world, after a wild child youth is now starting to look like one of the great movers and shakers (and I think he is a mate (do they use words like that?) of the Dark Lord otherwise known as Mandelson).'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
