Dont be sucked into believing all this is because of Libya, they just use the excuse of the day. we have had banks, recessions, house price rises..... whatever is in the news on the day that is why oil prices go up.

There are only a couple of winners and it's not us on this forum, they wear suits & dont get their hands dirty (at least with honest dirt) f@**ing crooks the lot of them

 

Yep! The bankers convinced the world that selling the same houses to each other for increasing amounts was the best way to get rich. In fact, now we're more in debt than ever. When they realised they may never get the money back they stopped lending altogether and threatened to crash the world economy if we didn't bail them out. So now they are using the bailout money (quantitative easing) to further impoverish us by bidding up the commodities markets. Unfortunately the banks own everything, including the government.:thumbdown:
