Taxi Driver Online

The banks didn't turn from careful custodians of money into reckless gamblers overnight. That took time.
The rot set in much earlier. Back when decision making was taken away from branches and centralised, then automated.
Then it was target driven sales. Banks were run like double glazing companies with the pressure on to sell loans and credit cards to people who didn't need them and couldn't afford them and PPI to people who didn't need it.

Thatcher made pursuit of the fast buck at any cost, not only acceptable, but government policy. She created the culture of greed.
Her followers in the red, yellow and blue Tories continued her vision and expanded on it.

And they are still doing it..

Thatcher and the tories removed a lot of the restrictions on banking in the 80s at the expense of manufacturing,ill join the party when shes popped her clogs

What Thatcher did was start to give the working man the chance to buy shares in industry and services, and to buy the council house they lived in (over 2 million sold to date, and Labour were happy to keep the "right to buy" i seem to recall)

My god you lot have been thrown a curved ball here haven't you, can't you see the poster posted this to watch all and sundry come give it a WTF! to the thread, and he got it by the looks of it


I heard she was good in the sack, well 30 years ago anyway, only bettered by Edwina Currie.

You hear some strange things

Well I for one enjoy the 13th October every year and never want to see a day that I don't

Or so you think. What she really did was take what belonged to everyone and sold it back to some of them at a knock-down price.
In the process she conned some of the working class into thinking they were Tories.
BTW, who owns all these services and industries now? The same services who are in fact bleeding us dry?

Want to know who the Tories really care about?
That's right, the people who got their tax cut, while everyone else got told "we're all in this together"


Labour stole the Tories clothes a long time ago. Just after John Smith died. Not much surprise that they kept the policy on.
Like I said earlier, you can't put a fag paper between the 3 main Tory parties nowadays.

Yes but the descision was taken and the process started by Maggie and finished off by her puppet Major

Nowt wrong with a bit of Maggie bashing !

I presume as this is "tickers" only post that it is an alias of one of the other members and judging by TT's absence from the thread I think he is prime suspect

I have been watching this from a distance hghly amusing and no-0nes going to move from their position are they ???

To me shes an effing who did more damage to this country than Hitler.

We live in a demcracy with the freedom of speach so I am glad to see a few excersizing that right even though some opinions were obviously created by political cretins and is so often the case its those that suffered the most that are unable to recognise it.


Gus your right tweedle dumb and tweedle dee for years but some of us are trying to change that to reclaim our Labour Party from the Tory infiltrators.

Where did most of that money go ?Into the pockets of the banks maybe,to grossly over exagerate property prices and lend people money they couldnt pay back.Or did the torys plough it back into building more,no didnt think so.She didnt believe in a society did she
