What the fcuk is wrong with us?? Those faceless morans heading the banks are refusing to pass down Interest Rates and what do we do? Nothing.

The height of it is a few "angry words" from some government ministers while the greed driven banking bastards give two fingers to us...the very people that own the banks. Have we lost all sense of moral and ethical guidance? Are we so afraid of our ****es that we instead adopt the usual "yes ser no ser" attitude and kep the heads down hoping the The Man will go away and leave us to our meaningless worthless lives.

This is Bull**** people. Who are these faceless bastards? I am so fcuking angry that I called my brother in law and my sister, who both work in a bank, and told them to basically fcuk off and never speak to me again. You have no Idea of the bubble they live in. They are both higher management and basically couldnt give a ****e if the country goes down the tubes as long as they get their damned bonus. Today we hear of a couple who commited suicide because they couldnt afford to live anymore. 2011, and they couldnt afford to live. We have become a bunch of guttless sheep, me included.

I dont know about you, but Im scared ****less for the future of our kids, and I hope I can muster the courage, for their sakes, to stand up for what I believe is morally right when the **** hits the fan.

If we all managed for one month to tell the banks to fcuk off and refuse to pay our mortages I wonder if it would even make a difference. Our childeren will look back at us in time and see us as the generation who did nothing for them. We are all about the here, the now, the Us, the me, the I, and fcuk the future. Shame on us.:mad:

I thought that a couple of the banks had already agreed to pass on the interest rate decrease. The only 2 that haven't commented yet are BoI and AIB.

Punctuation, spelling and paragraphs. Its not hard really. I stopped after the first line.

Linky?

I agree though, it would be awesome if the country went on strike and everyone collectively agreed to not pay any debt. It wouldn't be beneficial but it would be fúcking fun!

whiskeyman · 09-11-2011 10:18PM

Shame on those who don't use paragraphs while ranting

anticonno16 · 09-11-2011 10:18PM

The banks are ****ing class.

Two things, I'm very very mad, and I'm dyslexic...so it is hard really. At least some people bothered to read the whole piece before passing comment.

It's not all bad. At least you will be saving money on Christmas cards this year.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 09-11-2011 10:21PM

I agree totally but the problem is trying to get enough people to do something that would make the banks take notice.

Getting angry at your family is pointless, theyre not the ones that make those decisions.

Its top management that decide to screw people, you will never see those type people in a bank branch, they're anonymous arseholes who pull everyone elses strings.

They will. They wouldnt exist any longer if they hadnt been bailed out. The financial regulator willput the pressure on them and they will eventually pass on the cuts.

Unless they are on the board of the bank, then you sir, are an idiot.

The OP is dyslexic. You don't ask people in wheelchairs not to be so lazy, do you?

How does your wife feel after you told her brother to FCUK OFF?

phasers · 09-11-2011 10:26PM

My kids will just be happy that I didn't get us fcuked out of our house by refusing to pay the mortgage.

GTFO with yer Braveheart shyte, come back when you actually do something. I am so fucking sick of these threads.

Whats the point of them passing on reductions if it stops them making any money? Bailign them out is pointless if we force them to make losses. They have to be allowed function as businesses.

Not that I believe you actually did that but are they the CEO's or in a similarly high position of authority?Otherwise how is it their fault?

Im dyslexic with numbers and still managed to get an a1 and an electronics degree. Dont give me that, it he just put in a paragraph i would have read it.

woodoo · 09-11-2011 10:28PM

Does anyone have the interest rate each bank are charging. EBS are passing this one on so their new rate will be 4.62% i think

After NIB increase theirs by 0.95% what will their new rate be?

What is BOI's current variable rate?

PTSB?

AIB?

It would be good to see them all

Jake Rugby Walrus666 · 09-11-2011 10:28PM

If I was you hiram I'd keep in with the brother and sister. You never know they might be able to swing you a mortgage from their Bank. Since you have contacts in the bank you could get 110% mortgage. Then you can buy a 5-series and take a nice holiday.

Come on hiram. Use your head.

The OP only mentioned he was dyslexic after people complained about his grammar.
