As I was looking through the February edition of Waterways World the advert for Kingsground Narowboats caught my eye.
Would you rather have your money floating around the rather ugly world of the banking system?
OR
Would it be safer floating round the beautiful canal system right here at home?
With the interest rates paid out by the banks and building societies I think I agree with Kingsground. At least you would be getting pleasure out of your savings rather than keeping them under the bed (even that would be safer than a bank)or at the mercy of a corrupt and immoral banking system.
The banks in my view brought on this calamity by sheer avarice with no thought to their social responsibilities just to their immoral bonuses. They still haven’t learned their lesson absorbing the government bail out money like sponges but not releasing any to hard pressed business and mortgages. Someone somewhere is making a lot of money at our expense.
“Vive la Révolution!
