If we're suing iceland for lost monies/revenue due to their banking crash, does this mean I can sue the UK government to recover my lost earnings due to the recession/crash here?
After all, taxes I paid went to bail out the banks in this country; that and the cuts cuts cuts in the economy have virtually killed the part of the construction industry I was working in (would still like to work in).
Perhaps I could be more specific: sue labour for their mishandling of the economy by spending everyone else's money and sue the coalition for it's sweeping cuts, which on the face of it, will not really do anything to reduce the national debt in real terms (as I understand it), apart from totally killing the jobs market for most ordinary folk.
I bet the total national debt for the united kingdom that there's no way in hell such a prospect would be taken even remotely seriously, as I'm just some poor sod who got screwed over by the recession, and had nothing whatsoever to do with its creation - like tens of thousands of other uk citizens...
EDIT: bjork is fine, just don't let her sing that 'quiet' song.... urgh! anything but that!
