    Whilst I agree with the sentiment of letting the Banks go bust the problems it would have left would have driven us into a desperate recession, imagine turning up at the bank for your wages, businesses with no cash to pay them or buy stock or materials.

    The poor would have suffered horrendously anyone who has had to wait for liquidators to pay them knows how long it takes and how low the payout often is.

    It would have taken at least weeks to put a stop gap system in place at least.


    Living within your means is not political dogma its something those who pay for those who don't understand very well.

    The country hasn't lived within it's means since the concept of national debt was created in 1692.
    It's now £2.3trillion.

    Letting the Banks go bust would have protected the poor as the Government underwrites the first £85k of losses.

    I don't know their names - but there are enough homeless people could do the work with their eyes closed.

When one applies for these jobs, the application only requires certain competencies associated with public services - these requirements have absolutely nothing to do with the talents necessary for the work that the position requires. The result is that those elected to these positions are all the same type of people and there is no improvement in the output.

    It no longer has to. The new housing projects agreement demand somewhere around 10% of the new houses to be sold to Housing Associations to be rented out to people with low incomes. Similar to council houses but without the government guarantees of regular maintenance.

    So where do you think the government get the money to underwrite those Bank losses?

    It would have been a disaster for the lower paid and poor most who do not have 85 K or anything like to call on, they live from month to month on low wages and when the Bank that processes their wages shuts their doors what are you expecting them to do ?

    Their employers money to pay them frozen or lost, payment for work done frozen or lost, payments to suppliers stopped your direct debits stopped.

    I could probably fill a page with the knock on effects of letting the Banks go bust.

    The council set up the One Vision Housing Association and transferred it's housing stock. The reason being that the government of the day introduced the "decent homes standard" and Housing Associations were allowed government grants to bring their properties up to the standard bit councils were not.

    You think a homeless person could walk straight into a job of, say, being in charge of children's services or adult social care?


    I hope you never use the NHS given your contempt for public sector workers.

    Oh please, I employ a builder and I can
    say John that's not right.
    Go to a restaurant and say Carol
    the food is a little cold.
    The COUNCIL you speak to no one
    and its not their money. You can't sack
    them and they will get their
    hyper pensions. So why should they
    care.

    But can you rectify the builder's mistakes?
    Presumably not or you'd have done the work yourself.

    You do highlight the problem of lack of accountability.
