    Yeah right, 'for the UK taxpayer to use towards the £60bn divorce settlement', more like!

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business...e-118bn-uk-taxpayer-selling-bradford-bingley/

    Meanwhile, because of 'cut-backs', the following kinds of tragedy are commonplace in our NHS . . .

    "A toddler died after waiting three days for life-saving surgery in a scandal which has led to calls for a huge rethink on NHS funding." But not to worry because . . .

    "A spokesman for CMFT said the trust ‘sincerely regrets’ Kayden’s death and has been in touch with his family to offer their condolences." Oh well that's alright then - they said 'sorry'. :wall: And note the 'sincerely regrets'? They couldn't care less, so long as they keep putting ticks in effing boxes!

    The hypocritical jobsworth was also 'contrite' enough to offer the family 'an undisclosed sum' of UK taxpayers money in compensation - not money from their own pockets, oh no, but from someone else's. And despite all the crocodile tears and faux sympathy, I'll bet the pen-pushing bastards of the CMFT have forgotten young Kayden already. I weep for my country and curse the bureaucrats who have taken it over with the blessing of the government.

    Who will buy these?

    They are the roughest of the sub prime loans.

    The UK is bound to be running out of family silver to sell now.

    This isn't silver. I think it's the debt that broke the bank.
    The silver all got sold on the first day. This is the stuff no one wants to buy.

    What do you expect from the Tories? It's well known they want rid of the NHS.

    And there will be no 50 billion euro bill for Britain. We will, of course, be expected to honour our obligations but I doubt it'll be as much as that.

    Not because I have some special knowledge , but because I know what politicians are like.

    Mark my words, the right wing rags will be saying how wonderful Theresa May is for getting the bill down to 35b euro, or however much the final sum might actually be.
