seal of seasons ....

I wanna tell you a story, I think it's true.

Once upon a time there was a bank called RBS, this bank

gambled away all it's money and was about to go bust.

    Our government stepped in and said, hey, don't worry

we have billions of tax- payers money we can give, so,

panic over.  A while later, a very, very healthy company

called Cadbury, was the subject of a hostile but succesfull 

bid from Kraft, a foreign company.

     Sadly, Kraft didn't have enough cash to buy Cadbury,

so they have to raise it from banks etc. One of these banks

is... yep, RBS, the bank we now own. It follows of course 

that we, or our government, can have a say in all this,

after all it is our bank, our money........

Oh no we feckin' can't.

        In my previous post.....

I guess what I should have said is ' all Brummies are cursed with good hands,

 and we USED to create/manufacture anything, but those days are long gone.

Now Cadbury is in the hands of foreign owners, and will soon be taken from

this land, preceded by so many great names lost to England, since sweet lady

Thatcher opened the door.

         The press, national and local, are having a field day, and our glorious 

leaders are spouting their usual empty words, they are all powerless. Money

talks, and has the last word as always. We as a nation may grumble for a

while, then just roll over and let it happen, maybe we're just gutless now

and no-longer have the stomach for a fight, or are we visionaries, leading the

world in globalization , tearing down national barriers, shrinking the planet,

breaking the seal of seasons ......
