Those RBS Job Cuts

Even though public ownership has restored RBS to profitability. How does that work? As with the previous branch closures, because the EU, no friend of public ownership, requires it. Thank you, Margaret Thatcher, for your Single European Act. It undeniably works exactly as you wanted it to. No wonder that every Labour MP, without exception, voted against it. In those days, there was a Labour Party.

  1. I read about the RBS cuts this morning. What a travesty. Another example of "socialism for me, but not for thee."

    On the topic of the EU, it is interesting that in the United States, many conservatives see the European Union as a kind of nascent socialist superstate. It seems like that could not be farther from the truth. The EU is more like a nascent neoliberal superstate.

  2. There is nothing nascent about it.
