The 25 billion will give every man , woman and child in Britain £44,666 each. What a load of thieves in this labour party.

they make their own rules
I do actually agree that they should help small businesses.
We are slowly becomeing too dependant on large companies and all the small busnesses are getting pushed out

Like all central and local government organisations they don't have to earn their money like most of us, if they run short they just think up another tax.
Most senior civil servants (the real decision makers) wouldn't have a clue how to run a business and whilst they may have some knowledge of how to balance their budgets they don't have to worry about generating the income from output (sales).
If the private business fails anyway (as has happened many times) someone in government offers to resign safe in the knowledge that they'll be looked after financially in a manner in keeping with their former status.

It's not really allowed to without a commons debate,but as Northern Rock is in the Labour heartlands it might be seen as a cynical vote-winner.Farepack of course is a different case of course ,being in the South of England!

If you had savings in a bank and it suffered a set back would you expect the Government to help??? Probably!!!
It's not like the money won't be paid back. It was a loan.

Yup, so much for free market capitalism. Now you know what the 'free' bit means. Try asking the BOE for money when you can't pay your way and see what happens.
