Liquidated by Darling

A Memorial

The UK Government

Isle of Man Government

The Brown Government

Gordon Brown told the UK (and world leaders) that he had saved British Citizens on 9th of October 2008 when his Chancellor forced the Kaupthing UK bank into liquidation. He had not. In fact, Alistair Darling had thrown thousands of British Citizens into hell. And then had locked the door.

The unelected ‘leader’ Gordon Brown then went on to tell the British public that he had to stay in office because British Citizens needed him. When the British public (despite the almost-as-bad alternatives) showed they didn’t, he clung to power like a third rate dictator until the last possible moment. Let’s hope the world never has to hear the voice of Gordon Brown ever again.

Cherie Blair was right when she was heard by a journalist calling Gordon Brown a liar at a Labour Party conference (which she later denied when asked). Gordon Brown has to go down in history as the worst Prime Minister the UK has had since Ted Heath. Thatcher was bad enough, but Brown certainly takes the biscuit.

Thousands of British citizens are still in sheer hell two years on, it was the Gordon Brown government that put them there and it was the Gordon Brown government that refused to even acknowledge the facts, let alone sort out the mess it caused! Shame on the UK Labour Party.

The shame of Lord Myners

As Paul Myners sat on his high horse and flicked threats at Iceland he ignored the damage being inflicted on innocent British citizens by his own Chancellor Alistair Darling!

Myners conveniently forgot that it was the Blair/Brown/Darling Government who brought out 'Know your customer' rules in 2007 that meant overseas Brits could no longer open or maintain UK bank accounts.

Myners didnt notice that it was the UK's Financial Services Authority who advised the Isle of Man KSF bank to put huge sums in a bank it knew was dodgy.

Myners seems or overlook that it was his Chancellor, Alistair Darling, who ignored the Brits who had been forced to use offshore banks when he forced the London Kaupthing Hf bank into liquidation.

Myners joined in the cynical cover ups that the Darling/McCarthy-Fry/Pearson/Sants used to ignore the dreadful plight of the British people plunged into desperation by Darling’s bungling.

And he calls himself a 'Lord', shame on the Queen for making such a terrible man a Lord..

On the 7th of October 2008, using legislation that did not come into forced until four hours later, Mr Alistair Darling took the decision to shut down the operations of Kaupthing HF in the UK. No work was done to see what the effect would be, no work was done to see who would be affected, and the advice given to Kaupthing Singer and Freidlander IoM - when they put half a billion pounds in the UK bank, was ignored.

Mr Darling said that his decision was based on a telephone call from the Icelandic Minister of Finance, Mr Ami Mathieson, where Darling said that he had been told that the Icelandic parent bank would not honour its obligations to British Savers in the UK Kaupthing bank. The transcipt of the telephone conversation (where Darling appears to think he met Mr Mathieson a few weeks previously even though they had never met!) shows that nowhere was Darling told that the UK Kaupthing savers would be not compensated.

So, Darling put the UK Kaupthing bank into liquidation while transfering the accounts of the UK based savers to the Dutch bank 'ING'. Despite the UK Government forcing people offshore and despite the UK Government conning the Isle of Man Kaupthing Singer and Freidlander bank to put half a billion pounds in the bank it had now liquidation the British Citizens who had worked hard and saved their money were completely ignored. Darling went on record telling all the world that he had saved British Citizens whereas in fact he had destroyed the lives of thousands of them.
