    That's hilarious - well, in an uncomfortable sort of way given the recent news...

    The "somewhat sketchy financial situation" is like saying that old Datsuns have been known to rust occasionally.

    Oh yeah, and we've frozen their assets because they won't guarantee our citizens' bank deposits.
    Not to mention the millions that our local councils had deposited there because of the good interest rate.
    "the U.K. government is to blame for triggering the crisis when it used anti-terrorism laws to seize the assets of Icelandic banks in the U.K."

    They use the law against us photographers, so why not use it against a whole country as well !
    I know *I* didn't vote for our current government, so who did?

    Grrrrr!!! I don't mind the government freezing assets to protect UK interests, but I do not like them using terrorist legislation to do so. After my experience in July, it just proves that the legislation is being used as a catch-all for everything.

    And I voted lib-dem

    I guess they thought it was pay-back time for the legendary Cod War
