Let the betting commence

With property in free fall, stocks looking dodgy, those industrious people at the worlds trading houses have been forced to find something else to bet on. The one they have come up with is food and fuel. Soo pop into the petrol station and faint at the price, yes some of that is supply and demand, lots of it is tax and much of it is also your contribution to the bonuses and salaries at the big betting banks.

Something, in case it slipped your notice, we aquired in this country under the governence of one Margaret Hilda Thatcher. Thats in case some Tory tries to find a way of pinning the blame on Gordon Brown or Ed Balls.

Of course there is also food where global prices are up 27% in a year, so we get the great privilage of funding the banks with our money, the worlds poorest will pay for it with something rather more prescious, their lives.

Let the betting commence.
