"The Killing Of Georgie (Part I And II)"

In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine

Georgie boy was rich I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
not the kindest guy I ever knew

His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed money like all the rest

Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not do maths
after all I've said and done for him

Leavin' home on a Stagecoach bus
cast out by the ones he let down
A victim of these skint days it seems

Georgie went to London town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the thorne of the great white way

Accepted by Cameron's elite
in all the places that were corrupt
No Tory party was complete without George

Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old money blew a fuse
Everybody shout, out! Georgie boy

The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of twenty twelve
he said he was quitting I said I'm pleased

its all cobblers

figures/stats manipulated by those on high who profit from issuing facts that cause chaos for the menials (thats you and me), the BofE, IMF, credit reference agencies, money brokers, the EU, they all make more money from misery than happiness

it states bad weather and an extra bank holiday are to blame, but weve had soaking droughts - explain that one and it was HMG who GAVE us the extra Bank Holiday!

dont worry about growth - can your business grow?....only buy buying a 2nd bus and employing a driver, which you wont do, these figures have nothing to do with (or for) 99% of the population

Keep Calm and drink Beer, life goes on (between Ice Ages)

The Free Market Myth is the Underlying Cause of Our Current Economic Crisis

It Is Abundantly Clear That The Free Market Myth Is The Underlying Cause Of Our Current Economic Crisis

"The Market" doesn't exist. Supermarkets, open-air markets, farmers' markets and the stock market all exist in objective reality; but an overarching Market that lacks physical substance yet is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent is nothing more than a myth. Unfortunately, many of the decision makers who shaped the economic landscape which precipitated the near-collapse of the world economic system believe in that myth with the fervency of religious faith.

The fact is, our markets aren't free, nor should they be. The only really free markets we've seen in my adult lifetime were the Miami area after Hurricane Andrew and New Orleans after Katrina. For a day or so, "entrepreneurs" could sell ice, plywood or any other critical item for as much as they could get. Then civilization enforcement stepped in via law enforcement and shut them down.

Civilization and a truly free market can't coexist. Even those bastions of free market capitalism, the NYSE and NASDAQ can't function without myriad rules, regulations and laws, and the go-go Alan Greenspan era of market freedom was predicated upon them (in fact, the demise of some those rules, such as the SEC uptick rule repealed in 2007, contributed mightily to the current crisis).

If we want to rebuild the middle class, regain the wealth that's been lost, and reclaim the American dream, we must put the discredited ideology of market fundamentalism behind us and embrace a more pragmatic approach to managing the economy.

90% of all wealth is owned by 10% of the population, recessions dont hurt them, they still collect rents off properties, thier gold investments still rise 40% year on year, the picassos, rolex, all keep increasing in value.

Test

"The rich get richer and the poor get ......"

fill in the missing word

The poor get the x factor and a media filled with celebrity in order not to make them aware.

Or is that too many words :wink:

I also firmly believe that Germany is aiming for world domination again but this time using financial control (the last two tries didnt go well) and that the EU is (or will be) ruled by the antichrist.

Well that's funny, because they're paying more for gold now than they were 10 months ago on Dickinson's Real Deal!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:
