    Why is that better?

    Because NR is the safest bank in the world, as its nationalised by the British exchequer.

    Any wonder C&C shares are going up.. there'll be gangs of bankers sitting around in fields at the weekend skulling flagons and telling each other about how things used to be...

    Fair enough. If its an Irish branch of NI, then Irish Financial Regulations apply, including just €20k guarentee.

    Since it is nationalised it would require the British exchequer to go bankrupt for NR to fail.
    So the guarantee is a bit pointless really.
    The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

    No need to panic.We've got the roadmaps,the NDP and the junk bond that has been airwaved around by the phoney yapfest,ICTUIBEC and whatever you're having yourself.Now that should restore "confidence" in the financial community.Unkle Bert was some Socialist.

    I was in an EBS branch today and the woman in the queue in front of me asked to close her account as 'she heard ye are in trouble and in hugely in debt.' The manager tried explaining that they were profitable etc but she was adament. It sounded like she had over 20k as she knew the limits of the guarantee. An isolated incident I know but I am also fielding queries at work about 'where is the safest now that the banks are going bust' etc. Is a panic around the corner?

It's time to call for free markets and get rid of the centralised banking via the Fed.

    These people want a NWO, that means a one world currency, religion etc. They will destroy the existing system in order to build their new one. They'll claim that free markets don't work and that they need extraordinary powers to make the economy work in the future. Meanwhile these bastards make nothing productive, only enslave the productive people in society to enrich them. That's why fiat currency is forbidden by the Bible as it only leads to destruction.
