  • Well, in-spite of opposing vested interests, it seems there is a ground-swell of opinion that thinks the banking industry should put in its place. Steve Baker MP has tabled a debate 'Money Creation an Society' so that Parliament can discuss whether money should be created by private banks for the purposes of their profit, or whether, as I think, it should be under Parliamentary control for the benefit of the people. Money is a man-made concept and Parliament can - as it did last time - change the rules. You can help: just ask your MP to attend the debate; that's all! It doesn't matter which party he is from or what his view are or even whether you agree with them, we (financially aware citizens) need the ruling elite to be educated on money. But you need to act now: the debate is this Thursday 20th. It might be the most important thing you do for your future this weekend, and it's easy. Contact your MP and ask him to attend the debate. You can find his details and email via this link:
    http://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-your-mp/contacting-your-mp/
    or even tweet:

    Or if you want a pre-written email, the organisation Positive Money has arranged this too:

    Thanks from me, and good job exercising your democratic rights :)

    Bill Jones might want to revisit his comments in light of the LIBOR and FX fines too!

    He has been culled.:)

    In a way. See those three letters appearing under his username in post #125.

    Am I allowed to mention that?
  • I'm fine thanks Masomnia, thanks for asking.
    Call or drop a line to your MP in the next two days and I'll be ecstactic :)
