Ah 2008 when the media and politicians with one voice; loudly denounced the casino banks and their fevered trading of collateral loan obligations with their indecipherable, algebraic grading 'system.'
Well for a week, or two even property developers and landlords were included.
Then the property market and the people who following its advice declared they were self-employed, in order not to have to prove earnings and get bigger, unaffordable mortgages.
Lastly, inevitably the buck stopped at the people with nothing often not even a mortgage.
The mess the powerful wealthy had caused HAD to be paid by the most vulnerable and poor:
The working poor, the unemployed, the sick, disabled, etc, etc.
Austerity has killed around 200,000 people and Covid about the same.
The same people paying most of the price for that too.
The same people making a massive killing.
Brexit...
Here we heard Rachel say we're in a different position with public finances, the banker's bonus cap can go and so that means that austerity can end too, right‽‽‽
Right!!!
