Wales bails out England and Scotland. Again!

Hard working Welsh tax payers are being asked by Alistair Darling to bail out the mad cap capitalists in the city of London and the city of Edinburgh. In effect every Welsh tax payer is being asked to stump up around £10,000 to bail out banks that have shown little interest in investing in Wales. We the Welsh taxpayer will have no control over these banks and when cuts come they surely will come to the ‘call centres’ that along with Admiral constitute Wales financial services sector.

The Steamer thinks Darling has done a good job but he hasn’t been helped by the SNP and there Lib-demesque-flip-flopping-economics.

Comrades we should be aware that two of the biggest banks with their heads stuffed most deeply in the trough are Scottish. We should also be aware that the SNP virtually control how one of these parasitical banks is communicating with the outside world. Staff members in RBS the press office include Andrew Wilson, a former Scottish National Party MSP; Colin Pyle a friend and ex staff member of Alex Salmond and Andrew Henderson, one of Salmond's drivers during the recent election.

Andrew Davies our excellent Minister for Finance must be fuming at what amounts to the biggest transfer of cash from Welsh public services into the hands of a bunch of Scottish bankers!

(SP) Starting Prices

There are 26 possible candidates but 5 serious ones. The runners with starting prices (SP) are

1. Carwyn Jones 2 - 1 – The bookies favourite. A cleaver, likable guy.......But fundamentally lazy and this race is more like Aintree's Grand National than Ascot's King Stands Stakes.



2. Edwina Hart 4 - 1 – Not officially running. Her odds reflect that as the only woman she will get the backing of the lady punters. Hard as nails, understands politics.....But from the Colonel Kurtz School of communication.



3. Huw Lewis 13 - 2 – . Will struggle to get to course. If he makes it through could be a contender with the Party.......... But 19 labour AMs hate him.



4. Andrew Davies 10 – 1 Thinks He has won it!!! ...........But sadly his fellow AMs lie ( to Him) and the unions will back a winner. Won't on this showing get on the ballot! Shame, would offer lots.



5. Leighton Andrews 10 -1 Would make the best First Minister by miles - bright, thoughtful, hard working, innovative, progressive ........... But no one is going to nominate him because he talks with a squeaky voice!
   

What is the SP

The SP is the odds prevailing in the on-course fixed-odds betting market at the time a race begins. As is traditional, they have been set by a panel of 4 experts who are going to help me readjust the odds over the coming year.


NB If anyone correctly guesses the panel of experts between now and the election I promise on the soul of Neil Kinnock I will send them a bottle of penderyn.
