Ah but you see he did have a cunning plan, and you fell for it........

Heres the conspiracy part......

The real cunning plan was to get the phrase "cunning plan" to the top of every google search made from here on.

I count about 20 on this thread alon, Jebus only knows what the other forums are at!

Renting private property can be more expensive than getting a mortgage because lenders are very reluctant to offer mortgages at present so again, supply and demand.

your right rents should really adjust to the wages of the local economy possibly with a few exceptions, but a lot of rental property is also backed by a post commonsense millstone mortgages , frankly the economic adjustment is going to be interesting to watch especially the witch hunt episode.

I was diappointed that he didn't have a cunning plan to get us out of this mess.

How can this be stopped? It cannot that's the answer. Why? bankers have got a taste of being bailed out, ripping everyone off and nothing happening to them. So when a child takes, acts like a brat, throws a temper tantrum and nothing happens to them. What do you think the child will do next time?

I am deeply frustrated by the lack of a serious, well organised critique of the banking criminals - musicians, actors, comediens, sports stars etc at least have some "newsworthy" status that they could use to pressure the supine Tory politicians into real action.
Any musicians out there who could turn these lyrics into a punishing message of disgust?

Murder a banker a day

Are you worth your time on earth
Do you pay your way each day
Lets say dearth indicates worth
Let me say its time to pay

Question the average man
If you like to waste your time
Dumb and dumber is the span
Business loves you anodyne

Good minds retreat to exist
Now bland minds are holding sway
Sharp minds must hide and desist
While surly minds make their play

How much can they be hated
How can we get the job done
How will you be abated
How could killing be made fun

Tony is very respected in my household, he has a great knack of telling it how it is, what is more he has managed to do it on one of the biggest political shows England has, and today 2 of Barclays' chief Execs stood down albeit with an eye watering payoff, i can only pray its the start of some massive much needed banking changes but alas i fear not....

It's all fluff, the banking system is set to crash forever and weed will defeat the Drug War. While you weren't paying attention someone came up with a solution to finance in a total collapse. Start the clip at 4:02 if you wish to confirm Marijuana will be a 'legal' currency in the very near future, taxed and regulated ;-)

Why do the banks get away with it?

It is because the banks are now in charge, that is they are the government or should I say they own the government. A majority of elected officials are bought and payed for by the big banks.

People complain about this but they don't understand the trouble to come. Multinational corporations are slowly taking over everything. They will eventually run everything from behind the scenes, using media to confuse and mislead people. Yes the same companies own the media. Don't kid yourself if you think you know anything from watching television.

Good straightforward speech. I like how he says there used to be people in power who one would respect. Not anymore.

S & F for bringing this to ATS.

Tony telling it like it is.
His words definitely ring true in my ears.
I'm hoping too, this gets a lot of coverage in the mainstream & here.

Igniting people into action that we can do something about these leeches once & for all.

Agreed it does seem like more and more people are speaking up.. Perhaps something is brewing,,

I'm not attacking you but who are the "more and more" people speaking up? I see no one in America doing it besides a few politicians and the half broadcaster/half celeb talking heads on Fox and CNN. (Sorry MSNBC, if you really attracted an audience you'd BE on CNN).

Our celebs are too busy fighting off claims of inappropriate massages and divorces due to Scientology. Only when some far-left movement like Occupy comes up do our left-wing celebs decide to be photographed for the moment. In America, most of our celebs are too busy counting their own money.

Just watched tonights Question Time where they touched on the banking system again (and the immigration test, drugs, the Moors murderers right to die as well as other topics), and one of the panelists was Johnny Rotten of Sex Pistols fame....I very nearly did pee myself laughing (mostly due to holding in a toilet break as I didn't want to miss it). If it is put up on Youtube or catchup TV I would recommend watching it, despite Johnny being typical Johnny, he actually raised some very good points, and interrupted just about everyone talking, hehe, he really is quite a clever bloke, he just seems to pretend like he has few brain cells left.

i thought this was going to be tony robbins, oops my bad, still a great watch though, spot on!

Wow, would have never thought Tony would speak out.

Good for you Tony.

Everyone is allocated entitlements by their governments, the problems starts when the bureaucrats are courted by the so called elites to let them distribute our monies to us instead of issuing everyone their own account credited with their earmarks, and letting us spend our entitlements as we see fit! No, they convince the leadership in the house and senate to create a bull # program to provide services instead! Americans will be amazed when they find out that over $300,000.00 a year is earmarked for each and every citizen, but the elite sleaze beats them to it and spends it as they think it should be spent to benefit the American citizen! So when the day comes and our government actually disburses our money to our individual selves and lets us spend our money on the programs and services that we want instead of the programs the sleaze elites wants us to have. we may have a Utopian society if we can manage to remove the sleaze elites from our revenue streams! No more programs, give us our money to spend the way we see fit, and you'll be surprised when you see the likes of the elites no longer living high on the hog on our money!

I thought it was hilarious when John implied Louise Mensch was a 'middle class twat' - good shout - I thought Dimbleby was going to have a fit.

John is one the few people who I can honestly say I look up to - a very clever and insightful man.
I thoroughly recommend his autobiography 'No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs.

Tony Robinson went to msu.

I think it was clever of the Beeb to have Tony on to say what he said, if it hadn't been said, it would have been suspicious and in having Baldrick do it, the comments got out but not by a Politician.
What the Banksters have done amounts to treason imo, and the only way to stop this is by having the death sentence for it. The rest of us might end up paying with our lives when we have no healthcare/police/fire service etc, our Pensioners could freeze to death because they can't afford to heat their homes because of the greed of these pondlife, so it seems fair and a pretty good deterrent for the future.

Is this not the same guyw who used to do that drawing show back in the early 90's, teaching you how to draw cartoons?????
