I read somewhere it was £40bn that was being considered. Now considering that Greece's downfall wouldn't really affect us (apart from Dappy Flopadopalus and Tulisa from the N-Dubz having a poor mummy and daddy) - As a country we have cut vital services such as fire, ambulance, and police presence, not to mention cuts across the board in the health and other public areas; why are we thinking of putting ourselves as a country into more debt; the purpose of a government is to firstly protect it's own. If England were in the poo, do you think Greece would give £40bn?

*sigh*

No doubt Simon will be in with a mention of allotment sheds shortly, but at the present time without opening a big political broadcast, Nick Robinson style; I will just quietly mumble that it's a stupid use of public money and go about my business without caring much either way.

Not to the extent that I would like to see. There is still too much abuse of the tax payer.

According to Cameron any money going to the IMF is a loan, and that no money lent to the IMF has ever been lost, it has always been repaid.

If he is right what is the problem with helping to settle the chaos that is pulling down our economy along with everyone else's?

Not really, Argentina stopped paying a few years ago, so the IMF extended the payback deadline. That's what they do.

Anyway, Goldman Sachs are the winners. Google it!

Quite.

Have done nothing to clamp down on immigration, with predictions off the scale for years ahead.

One thing they must do immediately is scale down the massive increases in foreign aid and focus spend here/ cut taxes.

And Cameron like Brown seem to delight to go on foreign jaunts and annouce, whilst out of UK,
another great dosh of extra foreign aid out of our wallets; again seemingly off their own bat, without any consultation...just like wheelie bin change from WBC.
