Bailouts, bailouts, bailouts. Be it a bank, a foreign country, or the Euro as a whole, seems there's always some money in the kitty to bail them out. Who can doubt Britain will end up further on the hook to prop up the whole rotten mess?
A bailout by any other name, be it crisis fund or financial stability facility, is still a bailout, and all of the money is coming from somewhere. That somewhere is inevitably the people one way or another, it's always passed on to us.
The whole thing brings back memories of the banking crisis, where the cry seemed to be "too big to fail" - aka we'll socialise the losses on to the taxpayer, and private profits will continue for a few as always.
Politicians decide who or what is too big to fail, and we pay the price, but they ignore the fact that there is another too big to fail, one which is neglected and being allowed to fail, and that is Britain and the British people.
The British worker abandoned to raise children on a giro because there are no jobs left, and no prospects of getting one that pays more than a pitiful sum.
The British pensioner, left freezing and hungry in winter, living on a derisory pension and forgotten by the society they have given their lives to.
The British child, our future, struggling in a school where 50 languages are spoken, growing up with little prospect of security or hope of a real future.
Each and every one of those is too big to fail and yet fail them we do, fail them day in and day out.
They don't get a bail out, they get - at best - a few glib words and then ignored.
We fail them all and nobody gives a damn, there is no talk of too big to fail when it comes to the British people, bailouts amount to no more than a pittance to buy silence until tomorrow.
When it comes to priorities, banks and foreign nations are too big to fail, the British people appear to be considered too unimportant to bail.
We have seriously lost our way when our nation can be thus, where our people don't matter any more.
The people of Britain are too big to fail, yet the society around us speaks for itself - generations of politicians have failed Britain and the British people, but there is no bailout for us because none of them care.
Be it that jobless British worker, that freezing British pensioner, or that British child denied an education, they are the ones who are too big to be allowed to fail, and too important for us to fail.
Banks can fail, the Euro can fail, Britain and our people may suffer a little, but Britain will carry on.
If the British people fail, if Britain fails its people, then there will be no Britain left to carry on.
The British people are far too big to fail. It is high time that we recognised that and accorded them even a fraction of the attention devoted to banks, foreign economies, and the Euro.
Should Britain and the British people be allowed to fail then nothing else matters, it has all been for nothing.

"You're a disgrace to your country" - Front page, Daily Mail, Friday 12 August.
We are sick, there is much that disgraces us, but is it any wonder?
What the hell is England today, other than a country reduced to ruined shadow of itself by decades of drug addiction - not addiction to heroin or crack cocaine but rather addiction to that most pernicious and deadly of all drugs, namely liberal multicultural equalities dogma.
Like some fiending junkie our nation spent years bingeing on this strange and flawed ideal, and here we are, knowing that it has ruined us, and still desperate for the next fix of equality and enrichment.
What is England now?
Is it the school where 40 different languages are spoken and 90% of kids are ethnic minorities, where the indigenous childs identity will be shaped by this chaos of cultures and races?
The land where every minority group has its rights bodies, advocates, and community representatives - and the indigenous get only inclusivity, everyone must belong to us, but we do not belong with them?
A country where you can be proud to be black or proud to be gay, but if you are white and straight you'd better keep your head down lest the equalities bodies brand your pride as hate?
An England where minorities have communities, but where the indigenous have only a community which has to include all other communities?
A country where being indigenous is a badge of shame, something you are taught from the day you arrive at school, or the day you turn on the TV, is somehow inferior and shameful, something less than other groups?
The England where the human rights of foreign perverts, killers, and criminals take precedence over the rights of the indigenous to be protected and to determine our own national makeup?
A nation where Turks or Sikhs or Bangladeshis can defend their communities from rioters and be hailed as heroes, but where whites who do the same are condemned as vigilantes and slurred with insinuations of racism and extremism?
The land where minority is always right, at least for now - until we are the minority when we all know that concept of minority correctness will change big time?
An England where we are virtual strangers in our own land, placed in the absurd position of being forced to integrate with outsiders?
A country which teaches us from the day we are born that to be indigenous is a disgrace, to celebrate that is offensive, that our only identity we're allowed is a chimera construct leeched from the multitude of other peoples around us?
A land where we are always to blame for the actions of others, one where minority is blameless and where it is always us who must carry the guilt, it's always as a result of our failings, never theirs?
Our England, now a land where we are made to feel that we do not belong, where we are expected to desperately abase ourselves in the name of welcoming others, a land where our identity has been destroyed and where we have been reduced to thinking that our heritage and culture, something we should be so proud of, is a mark of Cain to show our sin.
Yes, we are a sick society, yes, there is much that disgraces England, but the England which has been forced upon us makes us sick and disgraces us.
We didn't make the society around us now, it was forced upon us.
Even in the wake of our cities burning the powers that be still continue to force it on us, they're like some addict desperately needing his next fix of the multiracial dream and blind to it ravaging his body.
It's no wonder we are sick, and we're just going to keep getting sicker for as long as we keep injecting the same old poison into our nations veins.
