Anyway, back to everything being the governments fault, I am sure Minty will link to something deep and meaningful that someone else has written shortly, she might even throw in a fancy word in an effort to eleveate herslef above the mere mortals on here.
Standee, I'm sure you can get help for those chips.

I look forward to hearing your explanation of a culture of what appears to be poor management, and a lack of coherent planning and investment in the private sector.
You can plan all the investment you want but if the banks will not lend the money you cannot speculate to accumulate. Don't blame the Tories - Labour were in power for many years before the banking crisis happened.
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Remind us again what the governement have told the banks to do - increase their capital bases, not take risks, comply with new regulation. The government do not want them to lend - they just make noises for the benefit of the electorate.

You are, without doubt, the least self-aware person I have ever come across. Absolutely astonishing.

Of the whole banking sector in the UK a very small amount - can you imagine the uproar there would be if either of the government banks ended up with huge losses on the back of very risky lending?
One thing that doesn't seem to get much press is the number of businesses banks are keeping going that should have gone. If this happened it would clear the way for the well run businesses to make progress.

You mean that if we clear the decks of all businesses run on an overdraft and with loans and leases for equipment and modernisation, then the UK economy would be just hunky-dory and we wouldn't all be out of jobs at all ?
