    Am I the only one getting real pissed off about the lack of leadership, direction, or any ideas at all from this and other euro governments? I mean, here we all are, listening to people saying 'the economy is all about confidence' before they tell us all how deep the shit we're in already is and how many years we'll have to eat it for. Why oh why are we still listening and taking guidance from a global financial sector that got us in this f#cking mess in the first place??

    We all know how hysterical the market is, someone farts in the middle east and the price of oil goes up, and the so-called financial experts are all eyeing each other to see who blinks first, because, people, they haven't got a ****ing clue.
    What we get are theory and hypothesis, guesswork and hopeful dreams, and 'we'll get through it if we all just tighten our belts for the foreseeable future'.

    Bollocks. And don't think it matters whether you vote yes or no in the referendum. It's about time people started to wake up to the fact that we need to take the power away from the rich few who know all about manipulating markets but very little else. You can't manipulate markets when people can't spend. You can't sell sell sell when people don't buy buy buy.

    We are in the unfortunate position of having policy dictated to us by a conservative, unimaginative lot of people who take direction from people with even less vision. They don't know where they're going and they want to take us all with them. Fuck that.
    Cancel all debts, put people first and start over.

    Or in other words cancel all savings because one man's debts is another's savings.

    Thats more or less what they did in Iceland, punished the prudent and rewarded the feckless, but I guess its working out for them. Even if we could do it here I'd have doubts. One way or the other the banks need to be removed from the picture, they've shown time and again they can't do their jobs.
