    Do some research, unless you are happy as a media spoon fed believer.
    what standard of living do they have?
    Do they starve /
    Do they have health care ?
    Do they have education ?

    The answers will shock anyone who has had a few spoonful's of the money lenders media medicine.

    Ummmmmmmm.... is that Greece you are talking about?

    He was the bumchum of all western leaders until he came up with the idea of an african Gold standard currency and the plan to irrigate Africa with water.
    They will never let that continent off its knees, they (money lenders ) have far too much too loose.

    This forum does not need this kind of conspiracy theory gold bug rubbish.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I wish he had the cohones to stop using the word 'money lenders' and say who he really means. I find it a bit cowardly myself.

    Gaddafi shouldn't have been summarily executed, if that's what happened, as even he deserved a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. However, if I'd sat for decades waiting for the knock at my door that meant I'd be dragged off for criticising the Government on a bulletin board and I had the gun in my hand then I suspect I would have done exactly the same thing.

    It wouldn't have been the right thing to do but I think it's what I'd have done and what I think most of us would have done if we're being honest.

    He means Jews I fear.

    As a banker I don't mind people slagging off financiers, I've been doing it ever since I worked out what went on in The City and I'm a banker myself.

    I can't help but feel that as time goes on criticisms of bankers are taking on a slightly more overt anti-Semitic tone which I find very unnerving even though I have nothing to lose from it personally (I guess I still count as a gentile despite liking Woody Allen films and Giles Coren's restaurant reviews).

    That's one of his more rational ideas, you should read some of his others.

    I feared the same. I would just like him to say it openly rather than hiding behind the 'money lender' phrase that he seems to like so much. I hate this sort of stuff when it crops up on MSE from time to time, it makes me feel dirty by association.

    Trying to put words in to peoples mouths is the white flag of surrender on any argument.
