Apparently, banks and building societies are to blame for the economic turmoil, with the finger of public opinion being pointed at the biggest players, in particular.

Bloody cheek! While the banks are clearly corrupt, greedy, almost Satanic in their world view, they are not to blame for anything. Just as Monsanto is not to blame for Aspartame becoming the most widely consumed food additive.

JOE PUBLIC IS TO BLAME!

Yes, folks, instead of staring wide eyed around yourselves to find an excuse for your increasingly shitty lives, why not look in the mirror for a change and take some personal responsibility? No-one forced you to speculate wildly on the housing market, remortgage to the hilt to buy your gold plated bath. No-one forced you to run up massive credit card bills at Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Wise up! And while you’re at it, how about taking some responsibility for your children as well?
