        Hi all. Just thinking that after the beating we took these past couple years from financial institutions and their off-shoots, how about us getting our own back by pulling some survivalist measures in the height of their spending expectation season, this time we try and find enjoyment sharing stories with family and friends of the massive spendings of holidays past, while avoiding any spending this time come to think of it a lot of the gifts were stamped "made in China" especially the toys, so that also goes a long way to explain why today one guy is "holding all the cards", so instead of tripping over each other to part with your cash this season, give each of our families a shot to be the next China. Like the saying goes "old habits die hard" so I know it's not going to happen, worst of all the bonus guys start to see me as the "anti-Christ" just when they are preaching that consumers need to find more money from somewhere to show what they call "consumer confidence" when translated means tripping over each other part with your cash.

           It's just a shame it had to come to this, yet again without these "dark days" a lot of longstanding chicanery would never be exposed to the "regular Joe", just think how long illegal bank and credit card charges were being administered, how long mis-sold PPI Insurance were forced on customers, ear-marked to fail mortgages and other investments passed on to trusting clients, yet all these wrongs were giving a fair deal of time for coffers to be full to overflowing, before being discovered years later and two or three guys are held up as the poster child for this mis-deed as proof that the consumer is somewhat being protected before moving to the "next to be discovered" swindle. The shame comes from attending high school and have it drilled in your head how terrible life and living in communist countries were, these people had to stand in line for bread and walk around with i.d.'s  in case they are stopped, I'd been so scarred to date I am yet to visit a communist or former communist country, yet what does today's reality show  Fidel Castro has seen off more US Presidents than I can remember and there are those in his country who never miss one of his rallies even when he is not there, the Russians have modified their brand of communism meaning they were not arrogant to ignore the need for some change, China is taking steps at their own pace but the Olympics proves their embrace of inclusion, yet these guys ideology that I followed from high school turn out to be smiling with me, lead me up a darl alley, they alone come out and I am in the alley stripped of everything including my shoes, such a letdown having advocated these guys ideology and even participated as a bank clerk for three years.

             Recently in the UK university students were demonstrating about a possible increase in tuition, shortly thereafter there was a news report of  UK banks in discussion if they could survive on £4 billion bonus instead of their usual £7 billion annually, I can't say if it has been resolved but what I can say is this, as soon as the crisis hit before anyone checked how I and my family would cope we were informed that a bunch of £ billions was needed desperately for the banks, we were further told this money should be coming from the taxpayers coffers, as no one had previously made me aware the taxpayer had this kind of money lying around while I am paying an annual license for turning on my T.V., no one asked if I agreed or disagreed so like everyone else we thought I just hope they know what they are doing as these banks have already proved they don't care how many of us go homeless. So with this dillema of how much bonus will appease our "darling bankers" I suggest someone in government stand up with a straight face and explain to the bankers that although they haven't notice  we are in dire financial straits and cuts are expected in the military, police, firemen, civil servants etc. and those are the ones that already had a job, we don't have to repeat the situation of the university students, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that a couple £million saving here and there would be dwarfed if UK bankers could forgo their bonus for two years and make available to the government the potential £14 billion, judging from past performance the government would do the same for the bankers, then again it's not like we saying these guys should go without a annual salary, this is bonus, surplus, extras, in account every debit has a corresponding

credit so it is my opinion for a bonus to be derived some customer or customers were debited for things that had no corresponding credit to them e.g. interest and other illegal practices we mentioned earlier which fill the coffers to overflow, so hopefully it wont be a hard decision to make especially as they still have to live among us humans, bankers you have no need to fear as I am proof that you can live to your 50s without a six-figure bonus so two years is a cake walk.

PS  A couple days after this blog post former footballer Eric Cantona has call for a spending boycott this holiday.
