Apparently Chancellor George Osborne says Northern Rock is now up for sale (price tag £1bn) but hang on a minute the taxpayers paid out £1.4bn to rescue it, and we were told at the time that the taxpayer will get their money back. Reckon he needs a lesson or two in mathematics, because his figures don't add up to me!

Just another kick up the backside for Mr average who is struggling to pay for the groceries, the rent, the mortgage, run the car, look after our poverty stricken kids.

Get real David Cameron/George Osborne, the people are hurting out here and if you don't fix things soon you will invite another Labour Party (that you say caused our problems) straight back to power!
