Northern Wreck - Is this an offer too good to be true ?



If you go to the Northern Wreck website this is what you will find.

In a total U turn, volte face, the Treasury have told the BOE to guarantee "all accounts, regardless of amount deposited" even to new customers.

Unsurprisingly the shares have leapt 20% as Citigroup have agreed to lend up to £10 Bn against the mortgage book as the BOE have also agreed to make their loans on the basis of "other assets".

Such is the desperation to get this damned company off onto someone else's hands and fuck the taxpayer.

Come one and all lend money to Northern Wreck at a rate well in excess of Government stocks and guaranteed by the tax-payer.

Is it not possible that other deposit takers in the market might take a view on such an arrangement - which seems like rigging the market.
Fucking unbelievable.
