Just thinking aloud guys,
If the Irish and German goverments appear to be guaranteing all deposits in their bank accounts then why can't are goverment do the same? after all the goverment says it will do what ever it takes, and that are money is safe anyway. Well if are money is safe it won't cost the goverment any thing to guarantee something which is safe. It does beg a question doesn't it? At the moment we seem to have a two tier system as far as guarantees go, because Northern Rock deposits are guaranteed by the goverment. The rest of us are only guaranteed are first fifty thousand pounds.
