What Happened?

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 8th of October 2008, the British treasury minister - Mr Alistair Darling - decided to place the Kaupthing HF bank, based in the UK, into liquidation. However, the Kaupthing Singer and Freidlander bank based in the Isle of Man had over 30% of its depositors assets in Kaupthing HF, appoximately £552 Million, and therefore was forced to immediately cease trading itself.

Taking everyone by suprise, the ambush by the British Government on its own people caught many people unawares. As it was (still is at the writing) impossible to maintain a UK bank account without a UK address (As heard by the Treasury Select Committee hearing - See Para 5, THE ABILITY OF BRITISH EXPATRIATES TO OPEN UK BANK ACCOUNTS in Janurary 2009) many people who were working overseas, serving in the armed forces, retiring or moving abroad had their savings offshore. The Isle of Man Government blusters about compensation scheme's and returns to depositors, but other than a £10K payment (which is deducted from the amount that can be claimed later) the banks customers have been left high and dry. The only people to have made a fortune out of this have been sponging law firms who have taken the foolish IoM Government to the cleaners and PWC the Company responsible for the liquidation; want to know where the Kaupthing bank customers cash went? Just look at the tall buildings in London - and most other Cities - with PriceWaterhouseCoopers written all over them and you get an idea.

The UK Government forced thousands of British Citizens to bank offshore, conned the Isle of Man financial regulator to advise Kaupthing Singer and Freidlander to put its money in a dodgy UK bank then Alistair Darling destroyed the lives of thousands of British Citizens by forcing the UK bank into liquidation and using the money to pay vote winning charities (IE. The Cat Society), Labour friendly Millionaires (Dave Whelan) and select public companies that no doubt senior members of Labour have shares in. The UK Labour Government under the pretend leader Gordon Brown is a disgusting and shabby Government but it is supported by abismal and grubby opposition parties whose MP's will do as little as possible other than if votes are at stake.

The 8th of October 2008 was a shameful day for British politics as a whole. The prime miscreants are Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Ian Pearson, Sarah MacCarthy-Fry, Paul Myners and Hector Sants (who is not an MP but an excuse for a FSA chairman who wouldnt know the truth if it hit him); however, the blame for the lives destroyed weighs on every MP's shoulders as, apart from a handful of decent and goodly MP's, it is they who allowed this to happen without question.
