Who pays for failure - UK banking, legal and accountancy eco system

04-06-2008 11:58

The City of London call the relationship between law, real estate, accountacy and UK banking an eco system. This is not the kind of eco system that those who know and care for the planet love. This is a system where you have a monopoly to exploit the poor, cheap labour from the poor in the third world and higher taxes from the poor in the UK, be allowed to ruin and take the worlds resources and sell them while taking away subsistence rights. Then you tell the poor, they should work in your factories in the City, pay more tax and tell public service professions such as nurses and fireman that they cannot have more money while worthless MPs and dodgy corporations pay no tax but exploit. Good example, you lose billions of pounds through incompetence and UK prime stooge minister Brown pays you for doing that.
