2008 Review of the Year: October
The Lord of Leisure | March 29, 2009October was the time that brought about various things in the news which were remarked on a little bit;
The credit crunch was still going on, actually, is it me, or is the whole thing just getting boring? I mean surely there is only so long that all this can keep happening? Well apparently not, and this nugget of life still gives all the bankers in the world brown trousers as they hope mummy doesn’t take their toys away. October was the time we have seen the politicians getting the cheque book out again to bail out more financial f-ups in a vain attempt to get people to start doing the same thing all over again.
The 700 billion dollar pot which was still being decided at the time of writing, as to whether or not to give out, will effectively give over more control of the fund to the US government in terms of assets etc, while safe guarding, err, something.
Europe of course, not to be out done by those pesky yankies, are also trying to conjure up money from thin air. It’s not working because naturally everyone in Europe hates each other, but bless them for trying all the same. And even now more of this practise is going on. Ah who cares any more? At least there has been a massive shift from the charities, as I’ve now not seen anywhere near as many of the lovely red army on the streets.
