The Banking Meltdown

A personal take on who is to blame for the economic situation.

It looks as though the world's monetary system has started its meltdown mode, and 1924 is about to rear its ugly head once more and cause a depression - I'm getting prepared, me camping gear's at the ready! Won't be long now before the city streets are lined with corpses of those who've lost everything, oh the future is looking extremely bleak. Still, you've got to look on the bright side, 2 or 3 years from now everything will have returned to normal but, personally I'm not so sure that's a good thing ...

I did have a master plan to avert this looming crisis but world leaders never listen. To avoid this monetary meltdown you have to apply either one of these two proposals:

[1] Reduce all prices by half so that people will be able to afford the products and therefore create business.

or

[2] Double the wages of every worker so that they can afford to pay for goods and services, therefore creating business.

Considering that neither of the above methods will be employed, the outcome can only be - we're all stuffed!

Oh well, I've gotten used to being shafted by each political party that takes turns in governing Britain. And I can say in all honesty that the Conservative Party has to be the worst bunch of them all. I mean, the last time they were in power their favourite quote was, "Britain has never had it so good." Erm, I think the Iron Lady was actually referring to her own party members back then as a number of them were pocketing the tax payers' hard earned cash without a second thought. One leading member of that party served a prison sentence, whilst others were forced from office in disgrace. And now the Conservatives want us to believe that they have a plan to rescue the banks as the Labour Party doesn't appear capable of doing so - yes, I've got a hunch what their rescue plan entails, and I don't think it will be of benefit to any of us. Though you've got to admit, at least they know how to put-the-boot-in when a political party's down.

Britain, in my own opinion, has become a Third World country over the years. What makes me say that, you ask? Well it's a fact proven by recent figures that thousands of children in Britain are living below the accepted poverty level, and the figure's rising every day. Inner cities are fast-becoming the breeding grounds of future criminals in this green and pleasant land, so it comes as no surprise that kids take up stealing for a living and don't mind spending time locked up for crimes because the prisons are the best places to learn their craft thoroughly. And at least they get fed and clothed inside, and play sports and watch movies, and take the occasional drug or two. Ah yes, being banged up is like being taken to a holiday resort for them. No, you can't put the blame on the parents of these young hooligans, because most of those parents are children themselves - though the decent girls in society at least wait until they're fifteen before becoming pregnant and applying for council housing.

And if you want to watch TV in Britain, you can't without a licence, and if you can't afford a TV licence and watch telly anyway and get caught, it's a fine or off to prison you go - and I thought I really disliked Robert Mugabe's attitude towards the poor. I hope he doesn't read this ...

There's a lot to be said in favour of Britain though, like walks in the park where you can stumble over kids sniffing glue, or winos fighting amongst one another for the last drop of cider in the bottle, or step on a dog turd every two feet. Ah yes, the pleasures of a summer stroll, I could wax lyrical for hours on this subject ...

Though let's not overlook Friday and Saturday nights in the city centres. Oh they're a joy to visit, and most of the entertainment comes free. Like ram raids, and hordes of drunken teenagers running amok or throwing up in doorways, or drug gang members shooting each other, and then there's the most pleasant task of all, trying to remain in the taxi whilst late night revellers attempt to drag you from it. Yes, it's one for all and all for one in Britain these days.

Now did I mention previously that I lay the blame for what's wrong with society on the shoulders of government? Well I have now. In their greed for votes at election time politicians lowered the age of voting from 21 to 18. Bad mistake. Most of the teenagers who are able to vote at election time are either in prison or young offenders institutions. Do all politicians want to lower the age of voting? You bet your ass they do, as now they're considering reducing the age of voting to 16! One can only wish that in their greed for money and power, government will at least let the kids drink off their milk before having to cast their votes in the school gym. Oh dear, I forgot, kids no longer get free milk as it costs the treasury far too much each year. And we don't want that, do we?

Yes, Third World Britain. Who'd have thought it ...
