ha ha

but seriously does this mean no more bail outs and countries are going to have to devalue their currencies as the soon to be defunct currency is holding up their value..i think we havent seen anything yet as the double dip hits.

I'll prepare a long post on the intricacies of the British North America Act, 1867, especially the sections on mineral rights, and the land grant to the Canadian Pacific Railway .... read it once with a glass of warm milk, and that should send you to sleep.

That article was published on Oct 28th, 2008...so surely the remaining £150 billion must all have been blown by now?
