It seems incredible that in 2008 the Labour Government are choosing to Nationalise a British Bank. The spin from the Government is that this is just a “temporary” measure. As one commentator I heard this morning put it this is rather an odd phrase to use, rather like someone saying they are ” a little bit pregnant”. In any event what we do know is that billions of pounds of taxpayers money has been spent already and billions of pounds more is at risk. I think this issue will seriously undermine any claims the Government had left to economic competence.
Sue and I have been away in Morecambe for the last couple of days visiting our goddaughters. I was pleased that Bury FC won away from home again for the second Saturday running. I went to see the 2-2 draw they hadagainst Wycombe last Tuesday and I thought they battled very well to come back from being 2-0 down at half time. Hopefully this improved run of results under their new Manager will continue.
