      Alex cartoon has an interesting perspective.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Next Comrades - The Nationalisation of the Housing Market.

          Perfect.


          I am the tool of the government
          And industry too
          For I am destined to rule
          And regulate you


          I may be vile and pernicious
          But you cant look away

          I make you think Im delicious
          With the stuff that I say

          I am the best you can get
          Have you guessed me yet?

          I am the slime oozin out
          From your tv set

          You will obey me while I lead you
          And eat the garbage that I feed you

          Until the day that we dont need you
          Dont got for help...no one will heed you

          Your mind is totally controlled
          It has been stuffed into my mold

          And you will do as you are told
          Until the rights to you are sold

            Not 'nationalisation' at all. You shouldn't believe everything you read in The Sun or the Daily Mail.

              You're right, it isn't; far from it.

              However,but the left want to paint it like that in their smugness and some on the right call it that out of equal ignorance.

                Aye, but they are interested I think. Plus pressure is mounting on the CEO:

                But ministers believe that it would be politically unacceptable for the man who led RBS to the brink of failure to continue running the bank with public money.
