The 2008 financial crisis was caused by governments, in particular the US government under George Bush, not by commodities traders. It's called moral hazard. You can look it up. In the UK we had "No more boom and bust" under Labour as they deliberately stoked a housing boom. It started when the US government decided to use taxpayer's money to back subprime mortgages.
@BOO HOO , I should also mention that if you don't want spam in your discussion feed it is best to unfollow 'Beyond Dawlish' since this tends to be all spam.
@Steve Yeah because former commodities traders like Nigel and bankers did the economy a world of good back in 2008 didn't they?. And all those wealthy shareholders with shares in the big energy firms and corporations avoiding tax really give a damn about pensioners losing their winter fuel payment and the cost of living crisis, etc. I'm not interested in you labelling everyone who disagrees ...
Glad you agree with me @DAC but Farage is not a billionaire not that it would matter if he was. It's only leftists that have a hang up about financially successful people.

Uhm, may be do not follow these dodgey links or worse call any number's on the posts.
@Steve - Nicely said. Summed up in a nutshell.
There is very little real racism in the UK yet left-wingers go on about it constantly. Anyone that doesn't agree with left-wing nonsense is a racist today. Reform are popular because the Tories failed the country and Labour are failing even more.
@DAC, I think you need to look back at what you have written in this post. In my opinion you have slurred a former M.P. who had zero intent on making it a racist comment.
