The Black Economy.

Are Muslims responsible for the collapse of Northern Rock?
I have seen many Asians queuing to withdraw their money.

[mushroom25]

has it collapsed?
have the government now reneged on their promise made only 3 hours ago?

[cambus]

You know what Governments are like mushroom,
"well thats not exactly what we said"..........................................

[youngmafbog]

I dont think we can blame the Muslims for this one. Sheer greed of the directors maybe ?

[Booldawg]

I didnt realise that so many corner shops/fast food outlets and mini-cab companies laundered their Al Queda money at Northern Rock.

[sp1814]

I don't believe it!

Once again, my application form for 'Daft Question Of The Year' has gone missing in the post, leaving cambus to totally trump me.

I can't believe I missed out!

I was all ready with "Do you think that Al-Qaeda was responsible for the kidnapping of Maddie McCann?", but cambus' question has easily topped that.

Dammit, dammit dammit.

[jno]

sp1814, you mustn't always take cambus's posts entirely literally; it's a lot more fun to observe others doing so

[cambus]

Sorry sp1814.

[THECORBYLOON]

Surely you know that THE Northern Rock is one of the sites most revered in Islam so it's logical that Muslims invest their money there.........

[jno]

TCL, are those the ones who pray while facing Tromso rather than Mecca?

[Booldawg]

Do they still sponsor Newcastle Utd ?

[jake-the-peg]

Hang on lets see if I can make it work....

Muslims do not allow usery, the lending of money for interest, and do not use banks like Northern Rock....therefore they are deliberately draining money out of the western banking system...which is a conspiracy to undermine confidence in Northern Rock...so they're resposnsible.

There how'd I do? Enough to convince certain abers do you think?

[Reverandfunk]

I found it amazing that loads of people questioned on tv had "several hundred thousand" pounds in their building society account!

[jake-the-peg]

Why is that amazing?

A fair few people will inherit that sort of money or have it temporarilly passing through their accounts.

The journalists will have gone up the line trying to find the people with the largest amount of money because it makes the most dramatic story.

You didn't think they were trying to give you a representative feel of the situation for the average punter did you?

[China Doll]

I've said it once and I'll say it again....

Having a gap in Watford simply doesn't work. It needs to be barrier!

How's tricks cambus? I'm still trying to work out what t'ice is!

[Reverandfunk]

Jake just put your head back up your own ar5e

[sp1814]

I read in The Independent that the Northern Rock is Britain's fifth largest mortgage lender in the country!!!

That's a bit of a surprise?!!

[jake-the-peg]

Oh Reverend you're so touchy today!

For someone with so many outspoken views you have a remarkably thin skin!

I'd blame that on muslims too if I were you - probably one in your family with a "thin skin" gene.

I'll check for you when the DNA database goes live!

[jno]

won't work, China Doll: northerners are now having southern accents surgically implanted, it was reported today; so they can sneak in unnoticed.

Goddamit!!!

The clever swines!

Ah! We'll have to stop everyone and ask what they put on their chips... anyone that says 'gravy' gets turned round.

(Ace story by the way, really interesting).

[horsestache1]
