| UK Banks Ordered to Hold More Reserves as Consumer Debt Surges |
| The Bank of England is to force banks to hold more capital in the face of rapid growth in lending on credit cards, car finance and personal loans.

| A Falling Market Cannot be Allowed - at any cost!
The Central Bankers have clearly painted themselves into a corner as a result
of their self-inflicted, extended period of "cheap money". Their policies have
fostered mal-investment, excessive leverage and a speculative casino approach
