YES!!! id take that over an increase in my savings rate!

hes a nazi gimp, our equivalent of an African witch doctor

Of course with the current system in place globally then the services that help other businesses and the individual citizen are vital. And yes I do know very little about the inner workings of the banking world. But I have made friends and aquaintances in that world, some are very nice, some are money obsessed p[ricks. Call me a dreamer but Id be interested to see a world with one currency - that way a banana picker in Africa could get paid the same as a toilet cleaner here. And soem of the more useless areas of banking such as currency trading would be on the scrap heap

yes I agree on the down side, pompey have equalised

I can work really really really hard all day scratching my arse from 6am to 9pm 7 days a week, it doesnt make it a proper job you seem to be using my original statement as evidence of your inability to educate me what is false in this statement?

Hate to use real life examples but plenty of countries without huge banking sectors have good healthcare, police etc

So weve got these people who are doing it out of the goodness of their heart now! They just want to help me get on the housing ladder - cos thats so easy at the moment! Oh and you never hear about peoples pension funds going tits up while some billionaire is sitting in the bahamas

otherwise there would be a capitalist popular revolution and all the socialists would be taken out into a field and shot ;-)

What are you on about?!! All these jobs contribute something Hedge funds however exist just to make money, nothing else!

a proper job is one that contributes SOMETHING to society other than a cut of their tax

I can work really really really hard all day scratching my arse from 6am to 9pm 7 days a week, it doesnt make it a proper job
