The most likely reason they stopped picking on the bankers was because there is very little they can do - they can't force them to restrict bonuses (only tax them). Banks are businesses and have to reward the staff that make them profitable. But I think the real reason is that if they kept harping on about how useless bankers are, other people/countries etc. wouldn't invest and the recession would grow longer and blame would land more heavily with politicians.

I found this mildly amusing, although it would be funnier if the BNP bit was the second last option as having the "everybody" first kind of takes the sting out of the others. tsk @ these people not understanding comedy.

What's so bad about Belgians, apart from their tendency to ban burkas?

They caused the Congo Crisis by pulling out too fast and then going back in.

Of about the 10 billboards in my town, 4 of them are Conservative posters, and they're all literally next to each other, showing where the Bias is here, even though Labour have the seat. Also, it seems Labour are the greener party out of themselves and the Conservatives, with there plea's to get re-elected outside peoples houses 'For Sale' sign size, with the Conservatives version being huge, with a huge picture of the candidate.

ahem. Meanwhile I shall retract my earlier statement regards the election choice poster being the wrong way wround as I realise that it then would fail to work logically as you have to give the everyone option before allowing for granular forms of hate.
