observer Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Seems Gordon just can't make a decision over Northern Rock; which is currently still controlled by foreign investors BUT has been bailed out to the tune of ?60billion by the British tax-payer.

asperity Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I am totally against nationalisation but, as the incompetents have already spent our money on this dead duck, in this case I'm all in favour. Call me a hypocrite if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well this puts the lie to the arguement that "private" is more competant than "public"! Either; market forces should have been allowed to see this company go bust in the beginning; or, given financial intervention by Government; control is required also.

DavyG Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 How about a mix of private and public being more competent :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Settle Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Gordon gave a good decisive interview on the BBC Politics show at lunch time today. He was definitely on form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
