Money: my least favourite subject

Originally this was going to be a much longer post about MONEY, being something we all need but which is the root of all evil.

Originally this was going to be about how the consumption and greed and ideology of the Thatcher Years and the Thatcher Generation has come home to roost ....... how

'I want it and I want it now'

just doesn't work....

Originally this was going to be a post about how we had some savings in two different banks who have both now been taken over or gone bust. Whatever made us think of depositing akkers with a bank based in a country more used to dealing with cod ?!

Originally this was going to be a post about how the rich STILL stay rich or get richer and the poor are kept in their place

but then YouTube threw a wobbly and I have had to make it brief.

So here's to us all...the little people, who work and toil, scrimp and save and try to get by. As I see it (and remember I am a child of the 60s) people and caring and nurturing will never be seen as more important than money


Originally the video above was going to be tied in with these words but YouTube and Blogger just won't play nicely this morning so watch the video and listen to the words, remove the irony from the Flying Lizards' 1979, postmodern, deconstructionist presentation and you'll pick up the ring of cash registers, the hollers of the traders, the weeping of the small investor and the shrill and hollow laughter of all the 'men at the top' who have managed to build a nice fat raft of gold whilst the rest of us try to hang onto a stray banknote as it floats past on a stormy sea.
