Darling goes on "Today" to tell the nation that all will be well and that he has topped our share of RBS up from 49% to 70%. Within four hours RBS shares (the ones that Darling has bought with our money) have lost 68.3% of their value. Another brilliant scheme by our glorious leaders.  Banghead http://uk.reuters.com/article/marketsNewsUS/idUKLJ3973120090119

Of course the share value was going to drop. With a 70% stake in the bank the remaining shareholders are frantically trying to offload theirs as they can see the shadow of nationalisation getting closer.

I did notice that in the bit I saw, it seemed to be more along the lines of blaming the current situation on every other country and not himself though.

Can't shoot him Snoop. Now his is committed to Trident the MOD can't afford to waste any bullets.I'll lay odds that any firearms that the police recover from now on are going to end up in military armouries by the end of the year.

And on the subject of "Today" ~ NICK! Did you catch that prat drivelling on about how essays are an outmoded form of examining a child's knowledge of a subject and how modern multiple choice/answer tick boxes give a better idea of the child's depth of knowledge?

His logic?  "Children write a lot of nonsense and that is stressful to the examiners so it cheaper and easier to use tick boxes that can be marked by computer.

He should be strangled. Slowly
