Can anyone tell me what it means that Northern Rock will be bought into ‘public ownership’? Does it mean that I, as part of the public, become an owner? Can I get dividend when the bank starts making money? Can I go in, as an owner, whenever I want and withdraw my share? Can I sell my part and buy a candy shop instead?
What a misnomer; what a spin!
All it really means is that they will use my money to buy something I cannot use or enjoy. And some still claim that the capitalist democratic world is what we should impose on our neighbors.
Blind leading the blind?
