$500bn for the IMF to lend to struggling economies
$250bn to boost world trade
$250bn for a new IMF "overdraft facility" countries can draw on
$100bn that international development banks can lend to poorest countries
$6bn increase in lending for the poorest countries

Same question. Where from?

In other news, new "windscreen tax" being brought in in the budget, everybody must pay £500,000 a year. Aeroscreens on Caterfields get a 10% discount hehe

So how many generations will this take to pay off? Or will they just start printing money? Lending to poorer countries? I take it that half of the Western world fall into that category now?

Aarrgghh. At work, so can't access a GIF animator.

Can someone PLEASE animate the Brown JPG to have him winking as an animated gif?

A £ symbol on the winking eyelid too please!

Anyone else notice how the new Financial Stability Board (FSB) shares the same acronym as the Russian Secret Service??

So the cunning plan is, to get the IMF and others to lend billions of dollars to sub prime countries. Is it just me, or does this have a familiar ring to it.

So let me get this right... we the taxpayer go to work so we can give half of what we earn to Gordon Brown, so he can give it to the IMF, so that he can borrow it back, and then we have to give him more money so that he can repay it, but now with extra interest...?

It's enough to make you weep. Now Brown and the politicians think they're Masters of the Universe.
