Makes me wonder if its a good idea Virgin takes over Northern Rock ? seems they have trouble processing data....
Something else they seem to have in common with our government then 
Yes it seems its quite common practise to be less than diligent with our data no matter where its held.
A financial and economic time bomb waiting to go off....
Understand the police are searching local tips now for those lost discs, how desperate they must be.... |

So Mr.Bankrupt Virgin TV Branson
placed many big ads in papers some weeks ago saying how VirginMoney
would solve Northern Rock.
Now we are told on TV News and Radio News
Branson Can NOT raise the Cash needed,
so soon the UK public will be funding Northern Rock
through Brown.
This stinks.
Every News Station said if it was Southern Rock
it would have closed,
this is All about Votes,
it Stinks.
FACT.

Tomorrow is crunch time for New Labour and Northern Rock
Ch4News & SkyNews
both said Shareholders will not roll over,
but All of New Labour is in a Panic about is Tax Payers money
and their Election (which should not come into this). |

Northern Rock
is in a mess.
Still No buyer.
No one can get £15Billion on the table.
For Every UK Tax payer
it is 2000 pounds each for this New Labour Mess.
Shareholders not doing well.
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30400-1300774,00.html
Nationalisation will only
be blocked and so they should Close the Fucker.
Their boss Fucked it all up.
If it was Southern Rock - it would be dead by now.
My anger is Brown is doing all of this for his Own
Northern Vote
That is Criminal.
Brown spoke to ITV News At Ten
he said not much his same old mantra.
He thinks if he takes it over it can still go back to the private sector.
And on ITV News At Ten
they also said he is more worried about the votes he
could lose. |

SkyNews and BBCNews
have now confirmed
Pathetic Brown is going to Nationalise Northern Rock.
This is Sneaked out on a Sunday while the Markets are Closed.
Branson who owns the near bankrupt VirginTV
demanded no €uro rules for his deal of VirginMoney Banks.
They could not agree at all.

Did anyone see "Dispatches: How The Banks Bet Your Money" last night on Channel 4? It was a rather interesting take on the US sub-prime to Northern Rock downfall, detailing the greed and incompetence of the banking lending and investment practices with regard to the US sub-prime market.
Some what more interesting than Panorama's half hour Shock-Pop-Docs, this time about the bottled water industry aired at same time on BBC 1. |

Short term "Nationalsation" this is probably due to the "Media"repoting that Branson had it in the bag prematurely,(Gordon is hedging his bets)give it 3-6 months and he will have the ruddy bank,Gordon and Alisdair cannot be seen to being anything but open ;I think the British public have already sussed the way Tony got his job so brown and his Darling are prepping the way for thier next employ  |
keep on smiling |

Radio reported that shareholders would sue the governement for nationalising.
Forgive me if I am wrong but surely they would lose everything if the society was left to go bust? |
We're all doomed!
Head for the hills before they start heading for you! |

| Both s shareholders and as tax-payers. However I think rhyme and reason go out the window when litigation calls. |
