LloydsTSB and Halifax merger????

So the Halifax has been taken over by LloydsTSB, and Ive decided to withdraw my suggestion in the Six blog that 'Negative' (my song about a blood test for a mortgage application) should be the new Halifax theme tune, as sung by Howard Brown and filmed from a chopper looking at a giant X on a hill. I think Ill rename this song, 'Negative Equity' and donate it to LloydsTSB and ask them to replace their theme tune with it. You know, the one that goes oh oh oh oh oh oh by Aled Jones sampled over 'The Snowman'. Im considering a career in marketing for Investment Banks instead. So today Im putting a fiver on Morgan Stanley going under, and 28/1 that Goldman Sachs is gone by Friday, thus wiping out the whole of the Wall Street bulge bracket Investment Banks, 3 down, 2 to go.

Capitalism really is a house of cards, as soon as people stop believing in it you realize that the paper money system we use really is an illusion. Nothings happened, weve just stopped believing in it all, so weve stopped shifting the CDO's round and round in an ever decreacing circle of pass the debt parcel and he who has the parcel when the music stopped, is fucked!

David Icke definately knows more about the world economy than Alistair Darling, he really is rubbish isnt he. It just shows what a sham capitalism is. As soon as the capital dries up, the whole of our economic system simply collapses, as it has done in front of our eyes this week. The government just print more and more paper money out of thin air, inflations at 5% already, what a fucking joke. Then we realize, its all just a scam, these banks go bust and we just move the goal posts so theyre 'bought out' What a load of shite weve all been led to believe about the free market. Its no such fucking thing as a free market. If it were then AIG, HBOS, Northern Rock, Fannie May, Freddie Mac, Merril Lynch and Bear Stearns would all have gone the way of Leman Brothers, ie, down the fucking swanny. What a sham we all live. Even Lehmans goes into insolvency only to be immediately bought by fucking Barclays for 50p instead of$4bn 18 hours earlier. Paper money is just a joke. Im proud to be an old commy this morning and hope the whole fucking lot of em go tits up. Of course they wont because someone else will receive the 'governors eyebrows' treatment and merge, be taken over, be nationalized and any other bullshit scam they can think of to stop the whole sodding house of cards we call capitalism to disintergrate right before our very eyes.

Ive never voted, and never intend to as the 'democracy' bit in 'capitalist democracy', the system we live in, is just a little carrot on a stick to make us all believe we have some bloody say in the capitalist system. Do we fuck!! Its a trick, theyve been tricking us for centuaries, Marx was dead right! Weve already got secular societies where we realize you cant dupe the people into line with religion any more, thats all been replaced by TopShop and Waitrose.i.e. instead of going to hell if you dont tow the line, you just dont get that extra burburry scarf and Tescos finest cheese with the cranbeeries in it. Now that, is more fucking scary than going to burn in hell for eternity to most dullards in this country. You think im joking? Open your curtains and bloody look next door, as Richard Dawkinds says, were living in a mass delusion, the fucking lot of us. Were all being tricked by democracy into letting these bastards get away with it all.

These so called 'masters of the universe', the investment bankers and private equity gurus really are just that. i.e. 12" fucking plastic action figures with plastic between their ears. Pricks.

One footnote-us British really are devious bastards, while the yanks go tits up and Wall Street has effectively vanished, theres Barclays cherry picking the carcas's, and I bet HSBC is next, picking up the debris (with a polite english smile of course). I wonder if we'll wake up to find in a few years time the wall street masters of the universe all re-emerge, in fucking London. We did invent the concerntration camp after all, although someone I know says it was the dutch? Mind you RBS has already taken over ABN Amro and their Wall Street operations. He-Man and Skeletor did have english accents right? Time will tell I guess. If im wrong, pack y bags kids, Im off to Spain. They own the Abbey national and Alliance and Leicester after they went tits up anyway!!

Im banking with Ken Dodd's bank in future. The Abbey Mattress.

Viva Marx!!

You know that Declan bloke is leaving his slot of "financial expert" on the BBC Breakfast show, right? I think we've found a worthy successor. Reckon you could cope with the early starts?

What with the food and energy prices going up and house prices coming down. And together with the big axe coming down on a lot of City bankers (I heard many have left London and gone to Dubai to dupe the locals there or have gone in the countryside to be waiters now). It's like the economy has finally reached some kind of equilibrium of how much things are meant to cost in relation to each other... Shame that my wages isn't going up though maybe waitressing is far better than working in the City afterall.

i reckon that in one of the parallel universes there are some people in charge who have actually got some common sense.
this matrix is becoming a bit transparent isn't it?
