If you asked the average English person they would say fair do's if Independence is what you want then fine, good luck and if you need help just ask. Unfortunately Brown is the worst of quislings. Showing his loyalty the hardest by poison pilling his own country.
After seeing that, I am sure patriotic English people comfortable of their identity and wanting too keep it, as we are our Scottish identity. Will not want a viper like that any more than we do.Britman Brown the superhero.
Anyone able to do that with intention, is a sleekit, lowdown nasty piece of work.And should be without a country and put on a fcucking watch list as potential Evil Bastards.Willing to sell millions of people out for his own aims.
Time for the gloves too come of Scotland. Fight anyone who will accept that disgusting behaviour, they are no good to Scotland, no good to England, No good to Wales or NI! Perfectly willing to trade his fellow man for his own furtherance and spite.
Brown is a hoar too his own ambition, the lowest of the low , the creepiest of the lot. If he was asked to kill his child to win the deciding seat he would do it in the blink of an eye. he is a dirty rotten little sh!t of a man.
the country of his birth is Scotland. He should not intentionaly poison it's potential to kill of peoples ancient vestments, heritage and future ambition. It was Scotland's before it was britain's.
I hope English people take this as a nod too a future term of Brown and what he would willingly do to win. He would and is currently doing his utmost to spend the countries future, no expense spared for his next term. He is a Mugabe in waiting.
No doubt.

HBOS chairman says sorry to shareholders
Published Date: 12 December 2008
The chairman of HBOS apologised today for the ailing bank's plight as shareholders gathered to vote on the firm's £11.5 billion taxpayer bail-out and rescue takeover by rival Lloyds TSB.
Dennis Stevenson said the board was sorry about the financial impact of the crisis on investors and said he was "neither happy nor proud" as chairman.He told the meeting in Birmingham – delayed for half an hour by a serious accident on the M6 – t
hat the world was living through "the most pronounced financial crisis since the Great Depression".The merger with Lloyds TSB will create a superbank with 145,000 staff and 3,000 branches but unions, fearful of thousands of job losses, protested outside the meeting today.HBOS, which posted another gloomy trading update today, was facing conditions "frankly more difficult by the day", Mr Stevenson said.The Lloyds takeover has been opposed by some Scottish businessmen, but the board considered all alternatives, the chairman added."I cannot say too strongly that your board looked at every possible solution... we do not cede our independence lightly."The combined bank is likely to be 43.5% owned by the taxpayer following capital raising by HBOS and Lloyds TSB – leaving existing HBOS shareholders with just 20% of the new bank.But Mr Stevenson said of the public banking rescue: "Overall, I applaud the intervention of the UK Government... it was the right thing to have done."SHARP RISE IN BAD DEBTS AT HBOSHBOS sent shockwaves through the banking sector today after revealing a further sharp rise in bad debts in corporate and personal lending.Ahead of the vote on the company's takeover by Lloyds TSB, HBOS said overall impairment charges were an estimated £8 billion in the first 11 months of the year, up £3.2 billion since the end of September.The scale of the write-downs, coupled with a warning of more to come, alarmed investors as shares in HBOS and merger partner Lloyds TSB tumbled 18%. Royal Bank of Scotland, which is 58% owned by the Government, slumped by a similar level.HBOS warned: "In light of the worsening economic climate, trends in retail impairment charges are likely to come under further pressure."With more borrowers struggling to meet mortgage payments, the company estimated its bad debt figure on secured lending was likely to be in the region of £700 million, compared with £400 million in September and £200 million in June. For unsecured lending, the figure reached £1 billion, up from £800 million at the end of September.As well as the bad debts relating to the retail business, HBOS said the rapid deterioration in credit conditions resulted in an estimated charge of £3.3 billion on corporate-based investments, compared with £1.7 billion in September.It added that margins were under increasing pressure after the Bank of England base rate fell sharply in recent months to 2%.In addition to the takeover by Lloyds, HBOS is the subject of a bail-out through the Government's recapitalisation scheme.HBOS said in a statement: "Global market and economic conditions, UK recession and increasing unemployment will continue to present a particularly challenging operating and credit environment."Lower interest rates should ease the debt burden but exert further pressure on net interest income. These factors will impact on HBOS capital ratios."However, through the injection of capital and liquidity facilitated by the UK Government, both currently and going forward, HBOS remains confident in its ability to navigate through this difficult period, as it becomes part of the enlarged Lloyds Banking Group."newspaper.

I still say that the take over is an English plot intended to impede Scottish independence and freedom!
JoeMiddleton,Edinburgh 12/12/2008 13:16:03
He should have resigned. The whole board is culpable for this disgusting sell out of our most important bank. #1 even the Britman knows that this is the case.

Im sure that the shareholders who are going to lose out on their holdings thanks to the take over by Lloyds and the people who will lose their jobs accept this apology - not! Its people like him and Fred Goodwin that have given banking a bad reputation. Yet its people like me who work at the bottom levels that lose jobs. Im sure that Stevenson will be alright his on his salary!

It wasn't driven from England however but from two idiots from Scotland who decided to put Britain's interest before their own country. They'll get their reward.

Ian Gray for a Day........
You too can be the pretendy leader of Scotland for the day with your own authentic Ian Gray signature. Use it too sign autographs, death warrants, faxes of the latest Labour MSP propaganda too Scotland's media.They will be amazed at how realistic it really is and should print without a momments checking as it came from "the boss". Wind up Andy Kerr by faxing him and saying your a fat multi chinned wonder and your a gormless tw@t, and watch him squirm..... You can even use it too scare your enemies , Just email it to Wendy and say I know about your incident in a chauffeur driven car and watch her panic and sweat and possibly wet herself......
Or even order members for the west of Scotland that they need to diet and cut down on the expenses or a message with "I would like to see you in my office now!"
Go on, be Gray for a day and have a Gray Day!
What a Gray day!
Hours of fun guaranteed.
yours sincerely
HAHA NEARLY GOT YOU!
