So here we all are in a near global slump that will make the 30's look like a picnic and where do our beloved and devoted leaders meet?

With its 5 star hotels, skiing, fine foods and wines....

So why could they not meet at some dive in Basingstoke?

the answer is in your question

no 5* hotels, ski slopes or fine foods in Basingstoke

these people must be under so much stress

that they need a real quiet luxurious place to work out how to get US OUT OF THE SH*T THEY GOT US IN

it the 'council worker' mentality that does it.

No accountability

If any one of us don't pay our bills, parking tickets, etc we eventually get court order and visits from the balliffs,

yet when the rich t#ssers lose billions and run banks int the ground they walk away scot free.

Was just reading that the average bonus for wall street executives was 44% down on last year, ... but still the 6th highest in history. Average financial bonus this year is about $112k in NYC for finance guys, while hundreds of thousands lose their jobs cos business can't pay their debts.
