What A Day ... and by the way ... Bog Off Bank of England

The Bank of England seems Blairism all too Blairism as it accuses Finland of doing the dirty on UK privatisation things and free market things. But Finns have said BOG OFF to the Bank of Blairi$m UK. But first the damned rain.
Here in the north of Finland rain is not usual. In fact Lapland is a kind of desert. The snow we get stays and does not usually melt away and that is why many think of Lapland as a snowy place. We do not get that much rain or snowfall. But this November, the warmest on weather records history, it is raining here in the north. The snow has just about gone. I had to suffer walking into town today in the rain which means doing a kind of survival course. Northern Finns should have a licence to use an umbrella. We are not dreaming of a White Christmas unless we make the snow from our machines. But maybe this means that our electricity bills will be less this year.

Some hopes!!! The power companies in Finland have used every excuse on eath to raise the costs for householders. Too much water. Too little water. Too much cold and even too hot. Mother Nature laughs. Household bills go up by huge amounts month by month but the chief bosses of these power companies increase their unearned incomes even more until they are hyper-hyper-rich. But this month one Finnish power company stepped over that line of passivity. Finns began to make noises and even politicians began to listen. Remember Finns and their government own big parts of this power company called Fortum. There was a rumbling in the tummy of things. The minister for trade and stuff called a special meeting. The already advertised price-hike of 10-15% ( again) was cancelled. All manner of excuses have been coming out in mainstream press for this change around.

But the Bank of England was not amused. This morning Blairism banking is not amused. But live with it you there in the UK. The message to this Bliarite Bank is BOG OFF. ( Oh and by the way take that rain back to where it belongs).
