FTSE down another 4% in 30 minutes to 4400. At this rate alll stock will be worthless in around 2 weeks !.

Darling has announced he will guarantee ALL savings invested with Icesave.

£ 200 billion cash injection into money markets to get the wheels of credit moving without it the economy is finished.

The confidence in the UK banking system is getting damaged beyond repair with reports of people going into High street branches with suitcases and withdrawing all their money in cash to take away and hide somewhere.

Bank of England base rate expected to be slashed by 0.5% tomorrow, great news for tracker rate mortgage holders and if you are thinking of getting a mortgage or re mortgage look at 2 year tracker rates as they will be pulled this week.

Now can the lenders START FECKING LENDING MONEY as their tightness is driving this economy into a deep and long lasting recession with catasclysmic consequences. There is no need to hold all their money back anymore. Darling has guaranteed it more or less at a huge costs to the UK tax payer.

Darling knows if people's jobs are lost and self employed/businesses have their incomes reduced by 50% this year there will be a massive losses of tax income to the government.

I would like to see the lenders get their cheque books out and the cartel of mortagge companies who control and manipulative the mortgage market, Barclays, Abbey, Lloyds and the Nationwide start offering fair rates and lending to 90% again.

It is a comment deriding the banks as they are responisble for this state of affairs. I have to say Brown and Darling are acting with some degree of decisiveness and leadership now. And the clue was in the thread title. It was fairly clear it was not discussing the merits of Robbie Savage's midfield play.

Tim isn't it time you walked to the beach and had a coffee at the Meeting Place and then strolled along George Street, maybe popping in for a pint at the Slug & Lettuce whilst studying the form for the races and then put a bet on at Ladbrokes Plc and then have a spot of lunch at Orsino's and then stroll back along Church Road in time for Deal or No Deal ?.

A-ha! The whole sorry mess is because financial corporations use our money to employ vast numbers of people to mess around on the internet all day!

It isn't only banks that do this - many, many publically funded bodies are equally guilty of the same employment tactics (not that I'm complaining like - after all, I need money to pay the rent and stuff!).

Yes, it's all my fault. :dunce:

Actually, NSC and any other interesting sites are blocked behind the corporate firewall thingy. I would hope it's the same at all financial institutions.

I'm on holiday today. So, part of the problem is because they're paying me not to be there.

Meanwhile ...

With all the turmoil in the market and the collapse of Lehman Bros and Acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice. For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks.

Watch for these consolidations later this year:

1.) Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W R. Grace Co. Will merge and become: Hale Mary Fuller Grace.

2.) Polygram Records, Warner Bros., and Zesta Crackers join forces and become: Poly Warner Cracker.

3.) 3M will merge with Goodyear and become: MMM Good.

4. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become: Zip Audi Do Da.

5. FedEx is expected to join its competitor, UPS, and become: Fed UP.

6. Fairchild Electronic s and Honeywell Computers will become: Fairwell Honeychild.

7. Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: Poupon Pants.

8. Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become: Knott NOW!

And finally...

9. Victoria's Secret and Smith & Wesson will merge under the new name: Titty Titty Bang Bang.
