Vince Cable asked should a bank have been allowed to go under said…
“When the Northern Rock crisis broke, my view was that that probably should have been what happened – the government should have rescued the depositors and let the bank go. That was how I responded to it for precisely the reasons you implied.”

“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”

“Vince Cable.
He just so gets on the tits of Tories.
Hooray!”
Oh, and “First”"
Crap as usual from Gardner, the little dyke.
i thought he said something different, he favoured full nationalisation at the time…
“Why should taxpayers’ money be used to help Richard Branson, or whoever eventually acquires Northern Rock?’ asked Vince Cable, shadow chancellor for the Liberal Democrats.
Cable says ‘the least worst option’ would be to nationalise Northern Rock to safeguard taxpayers’ money, and then to sell the bank on in due course.”

Vince Cable, flip-flopping on the best approach to take? I’m shocked, shocked.
I would willingly trade George Osborne for Vince Cable,and indeed may very well do so when the transfer window opens in January.
And that is a cast iron guarantee
Well I’m sure Cable was first to propose nationalisation.
