    Credit Crunch - what happened next

    House prices fell as cheap credit vanished.

    House builders, surveyors, land banks, estate agents, property developers, builders merchants, tool hire companies, tradesman, go broke and lay-off thousands of workers, including immigrant workers.

    Unemployment rises sharply, and many immigrants return home.

    Demand for housing falls further and prices tumble further.

    Government borrowing spirals and pay demands rise.

    Inflation rises and fuel becomes scarce.

    Public sector workers strike.

    Flares come back into fashion and men grow long hair and wear safari jackets.

    Welcome to the 1970's

            Watch the infighting - "It was his idea, etc" Everyone covering their own backsides whilst rapidly trying to feather their own nests.

              Are you sure?

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Anybody seen that (quite strange) song from Johnathon King. He's another weirdo in need of a hobby that doesn't involve puppies or sweeties.
