P.S. Nationalising Banks is socialism, and imo, something that should
have been done back in 1947. However, the British banking system made
it through the 30s without losing a bank, so I suppose you don't mess
with what works. That'll be the Right who does that. I think it'll
take a lot to persuade people they won't get rich off their house
prices. They're going to have to learn though. Bring back Captain
Mainwaring!!!
The banks are nationalised and we've still got capitalism. Oh, paradox time!!!!
