REGARDING your front page article headed bank bricked up in protest, I can only express wholehearted support for the builders who had the courage to express their views in such a way that could not be brushed off with a with a scripted call centre platitude.

If anyone looks into the bond and equity markets they will see that banks are buying money supply from government at around one per cent but then selling that self same money on to customers at anything from 15 per cent upwards.

This is sheer usury. If banks were running our power supply the electricity would be arriving at 100 volts when it should be 240 volts! There is in my view no vast national deficit – given as the reason for lock-up of national money supply.

The British working population is no more in debt than populations in a hundred countries around the world – it is exactly the opposite way round.

Banking conglomerates have wholesale control of world money supplies and create a vast illusion of world indebtedness.

But there is little, if any, risk on their side. In the end game, as we have seen, they are more powerful than any government.
