Reinstate State Pensions in line with Earnings and.... when the government representative says we have raised the State Pensions... say... we don't want the demeaning 'means tested' (MIG)handouts.
All Pensioners are entitled to a reasonable Basic State pension.

I'm sorry I can't put together a coherent post. I am speechless. Why just banks? Why not every business? Where is their logical argument? The Government has intervened to save a company owned by shareholders. Why is Northern Rock special? Why would they not save my local little plumbing company owned by the plumber and his wife? You may say the answer is obvious, but is it? What logical definition do you put in place to distinguish them between them? The only answer that springs to my mind is that it is politically expedient. So now the Government can save any company it chooses. This means we now have a communist state, as some companies will be state subsidised. Why doesn't anyone see the consequenses of this Governments actions anymore? Why are we all so blind?
