Northern Rock is a corpse! <br /><br />You rightly say this week’s figures from the state-owned bank Northern Rock £725million in the first half of 2009. That is remarkable rise of 24 per cent on the same period in 2008.<br /><br />Just wait and see what this hopeless government does next... <br />New Labour will split Northern Rock into two and sell off the ‘good’ part as quickly as possible – which will mean cheaply – so that it can claim to have got a return on taxpayers’ money before the General Election. <br /><br />It's a cheap political stunt posing as an economic policy.Matthew of Sunny Swindonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285434262414257327noreply@blogger.com
