âabout putting manners on the British Broadcasting Corporationâ
?
Fucking BBC are trying to whitewash George Osbornâs disastrous handling of the sale of RBS back to the private sector.
Theyâre spinning the âof course they couldnât make money out of a bailout, they had to sell at a lossâ line. Utter Bullshit. The sale was ideological from the start, and continued to be so while the tories were in power.
Why do I know this? Because look at the other bailouts performed at the same time as RBS- The treasury made money on the rescue of Northern Rock (Both the âgoodâ and âbadâ parts were sold off at a small profit) , Made money on the rescue of Bradford and Bingley, Broke even on their support to Lloyds, and made money on the schemes to underwrite liquidity measures and debt issuance.
This is a failure of basic financial journalism and shows how much austerity garbage thinking is still stuck in the minds of the UK media.
âPutting manners onâ - Irish slang. It means to discipline someone.
âGet out of that tree in your nice Mass clothes or Iâll come over and put manners on ya!â
Another unshock from Tories.
Buying your own politician is a real bargain!
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Told to root out âDEIâ by what people? Itâs EDI in Britain!
(Took a look at the membership and I canât for the life of me see why they are using American terminology that isnât used institutionally in England. Itâs not like America cares.)
