the new mission statement

up for grabs Yes I realize this has echoes of the 1980's, but just can't help myself, having stumbled across a web site yesterday that had such a thing. 

Anyway more than a statement perhaps a mood, in case this blog has any duration, let's just fix the starting point in context.

It's early April, 2009 and 12th months ago, few of us were barely conscious, of what is now known, as the credit crunch, which for many  would-be more aptly described as a crush.

Britain's MP's backbenchers and front bench ministers of the government, have in the past few weeks, been revealed for the weak and feeble money grabbing bastards that the British public, have often suspected.

The Economy is down the toilet, Gordon Brown has so far failed miserably to instil any sense of confidence, that he has either a grip or understanding of the current economic circumstances, we find ourselves in.

It seems every day the British public, is informed of ever increasing amounts of money, that we will need to stump up to cover the government's, ill judged gambles as it attempts to mitigate the worst effects of the global recession and fails.

Sums of money which are totally incomprehensible, are regularly quoted as having been given to banks to shore up, their business to what end, nobody has yet had the courtesy to inform the British taxpayer.

Anyway that's the starting point of this blog, where it will go I don't know.
