now many people are wondering why i'm only using negative posts,well the answer is quite clear.
how many people have had a response of tough,you got yourself into debt that's your problem.
How many people have had their properties taken from them,and received the answer of if you took more care of your debts you wouldn't be in this position in the first place.
Well now the boot is on the other foot,and i will continue to post the truth,and i couldn't give a damn if people like it or not.

I'm sorry, the truth actually is that you're making mountains out of molehills, most likely precipitated (as the post I quoted seems to imply) by some kind of bitter experience with a bank. I'm not sure how a bitter experience would a bank would inspire one to link to negative news stories about banks, but you appear to have managed it.
Give up. Nobody's interested.0 -

The banks assets ( loans , mortgages etc) are secured to the Government.
In return the Govt gives the banks Govt Bonds.
Not at 100% but at a discount in favour of the Govt.
The banks can then borrow from other banks using the Govt bonds as security. This means the other banks should lend the other banks at lower rates as they are secured by Govt Bonds.
If some of the mortgages are 'bad' and have been passed to the Govt any bad debt is to be taken by the BANKs.
This should ensure that Libor comes down to around base rate.
You will then see interest rates go up as Inflation is out of control.
Govt says it is 2.5% but that is b'''ocks. Look at the price of energy, food , petrol etc.0 -
