Ulster Bank (UB) is owned by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). Monopoly capital knows no boundaries, not least neo- provincial ones. If Scotland goes independent, presumablly the RBS will become NBS. Whereto then for UB. UB official on Ulster TeleVision (UTV) news before the crisis told news reader UB was bigger (and more exosed) in the rest of Ireland than in 'Ulster'(?) alone, what with p[r]oper[t]y(?) bubble/bad debts, etc. Crisis began in run up to HMs visit, ending with floods. Bank kept 32 branches open in 'province' (sic) to cope with crisis. Subsidiaries in GB sorted before NI. Liquidity issues feared. Question is, is someone trying to economically destablise (Anglo-Irish-ise) NI as precursor to constitutional feng shui. Who dislodged the corner stone from the UB facade, as HM called for tea. And why all the phonecalls on UTV live to UB HQ in Dublin.
I was paid on June 28th, it took a week for my salary to show up on phone banking and none of my standing orders or direct debits have been paid! W@nkers!
So bad you would think it was run by Government
Unacceptable @?..! In the Cutthroat World of Corrupt Despotic Globalizationist Capitalism; It should be Bloody Murder ?..!
We know people with families in The Republic of Ireland that were affected and we think it is reprehensible. Why is a bank from the UK handling the affairs of people from the Republic? We are however happy to see Countrywide, the crooked company that fed into our crooked US banks, which fed into the crooked UK banks being investigated. Again I would ask a question posed on another very pertinent Irish question. Where are all the posters? Is this not important to them? It seems that dogs and murderers get more attention than pertinent questions of survival. It is the same thing in the USA. Turn on the news and you get blasted with which celebrity is getting divorced, which celebrity has gotten away with a DWI, which banker or politician has gotten away with scamming millions and so on. It is a sad state of affairs if people are not interested in their own survival.
