Flag burned at a protest in Iceland - december 19 2009

http://www.iceland-dori.blogspot.com

Today there was yet another protest in Reykjavik.
People are protesting the Icelsave account,that the govermnet is about to agree to pay,to England and Holland.
And also,why the goverment is not doing anything to help people in money trouble, due to bad foreign currency loans.
People feel , that the govermnet is only helpin companys,and the wealthy people in Iceland.
Those that took part in the Banking fiasco last year,are still in good shape ,financially.
Many have left Iceland,are running companys in foreign countries.
Others are being helped with tax breaks,so that they can still run their companys,even though they took big part in the banking crisis.

And today , Eva Joilie , Norwegian-born French magistrate , who is a special adviser by the Icelandic government to investigate the banking crisis, was a few hundred feet from the protest , in a bookstore,signing here book.
You can see her ,at the end of the line in the bookstore.

A flag was burned at the protest today ,and it was the flag of one of the banks, Landsbanki, the bank that made the Icesave fiasco.
The flag was first walked on ,and when a singer started singing christmass songs ,they burned the flag.

Iceland had a choice. before it chose cod wars and to exclude British fishermen from international waters, then you lost us as friends, so now you have to pay when you lost our money, give back what is ours, and you keep your fish, you wanted it, you can keep it!

Sadly, the Icelandic people elected irresponsible governments that did nothing to prevent Icelandic banks from pursuing extremely risky policies. The Icelandic people greatly benefited from this, since it pushed up the value of the Icelandic currency. While it may be true that ordinary British and Dutch savers were unwise in putting their money in an Icesave account, they could reasonably expect the Icelandic government to honour its bank guarantee. Iceland should pay them back EVERY LAST PENNY.

You´re totally right about this one clayvessel...!

It's good to see you're still videoing the protests in Iceland. I heard that your president may refer the final decision on Icesave to a referendum next year.

The Economic Hitwoman says to the taxpayers of Iceland: IF YOU PAY these BANKSTERS YOU ARE IDIOTS..

British depositors were STUPID to put their money in an uninsured accounst at a risky 15% rate of interest!!.... WHY SHOULD ICELANDIC TODDLERS AND RETIREES PAY FOR THEIR STUPID MISTAKES AND RISKY BEHAVIOR?

The racket: Bankers PRIVATIZE their gains.... but when they LOSE... THE INNOCENT TAXPAYERS are forced to pay for the LOSS. THIS IS THEFT, NOT CAPITALISM.
