Scapegoats


So they're storming the banks on Wednesday...... that should sort all the problems eh?
A very English Revolution..... Storm the Banks and bring a packed lunch!
Can't help thinking the priorities are a bit cock eyed. We've had the worst child poverty in Western Europe for many years, not just since the banks crashed. One in four children in Scotland grows up in poverty. But threaten the middle classes pensions and savings and we get tens of thousands taking to the streets? .........hmmm.
Seems to me that the banks didn't cause this recession, their reckless actions were just another symptom of the root cause...... Greed.
But the Government love it... the anger isn't being directed at them. Scapegoats are essential in times of trouble. History tells us this.
