FLASH MOB … Friday 10th October 3.00 pm Bank of England …

…..plus more on “Greed IS good”, from Alex Singleton in the Torygraph.

I don’t know, I seem to see this turning up here and there. I can’t go but maybe you people can. Via “A decent Muesli” who I think got it from Guido.

It won’t change a thing, of course, but it will be fun.

Here’s some more fun stuff:-

Worth quoting too:-

THE government is to invest £500bn of your money in British banks so they can lend it back to you with interest.

‘I got confused’

The historic move is being hailed as a lifeline for the financial system as long as nobody asks too many questions.

Julian Cook, chief economist at Corbett and Barker, said: “The government will give your money to the banks so the banks can start lending you that money, probably at around 7% APR.

“Thanks to all the interest you’re paying on your own money, the banks will make billions of pounds again and normality will be restored.

“After a few years of this the government will cash in the bank shares it bought with your money and use the profits to build a huge fucking dome somewhere.”

He added: “In case you hadn’t already worked it out – the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you’re an idiot.”

Chancellor Alistair Darling said the decision had been taken in tandem with the banking industry, adding: “They used a lot of dirty words I’d never heard before and one of them had an angry looking dog.”

Meanwhile, Emma Bradford, a sales manager from Bath, said: “Why doesn’t the government just give my money to me so I can buy stuff from businesses who will then make a profit and put it in a bank?”

But Mr Darling insisted: “Shut up.”

OUR 1,000th post (how boring) ICELAND banks … is it just me worrying, or is Gordon Brown now hanging half-off-the-planet?

David Davis

How can you “sue” a country? Dunno. Any ideas, anyone?

Who cares what other people eat (or not)?

I don’t know.

Greed is good

Guido is a gent: he finds relevant material, and makes stuff possible for the rest of us put-upon liberals to comment upon.

Ought I as your blogmaster, to know about these people? Are you missing out through my lacuna?

David Davis

Am I missing something, or is it that I just do not sit and regard the Wireless Tele Vision machine, all that often…?

What's the poor little boy thinking right now?

Astonishing teeth that woman has….how did they get like that? (Otherwise she looks quite pretty, wonder what she does for a living?)

Perhaps it’s about time to settle down…

…for this chap, who’s been astonishingly flaky for 65 years…..

….and what will the buggers do next?

David Davis

Anti-”war on terror” “laws” are being used to upset the normal course of events in the sorting out of an Icelandic Bank which has a little local difficulty. Hat tip Guido, who spotted this in the FT.

If “states” are going to start squabbling over stuff, as if it was post-war-rationed-sweets, like tantrumised children outside a playground in 1948, then we truly are in the poo. This is socialism “triumphing over all the world”, as someone called V. I. Lenin said it “must”.

(Thieving, murdering bastard, and good-for-nothing waste-of-space. Good that he started to smell and had to be replaced by a waxwork. Hope they burnt the remains while nobody was looking, sensible guys. Perhaps Lenin didn’t exist at all, and had to always be played by a body-double, like “Jacqui” “Smith” … in my saner moments, I can’t believe that such a person exists.)

…and from Paris Hilton, to follow up the stuff below.

David Davis

Here she is, sounding marginally less useless than the West’s current crop of bozos holding up white flags to socialism.
