Here we go again ! Another Bank collapse that will end up US in Uk bailing out the investors (who have earned £ million and flew off somewhere) to save the “tech” companies from going under, watch this space more £££s of you money will get thrown at this …like “WE” did with RBS

Capitalist Tory Government clearly fail to understand economic theory. Profits are the reward for risk. If a tech startup fails, someone picks it up at a bargain price & business as usual. Business should never receive a penny of taxpayer's money.

Mitigated!

🤔

Disgusting. If they’ve pushed too far let the fuckers fall. 2008 all over again. Greed with no repercussions.

Socialism for the rich, cold hard capitalism for the rest of us. Bailouts and subsidies galore for banks whenever they need it or even just feel like it.

Gotta prop the Net Zero companies up using tax payer money I suppose.

BAILOUT PARTY!!!
