UK revenue spend, 2009 - 2010

if there are roughly 62 million UK inhabitants, this is something like £10,100 spent on every person in 2009/10, right? Did you have just over £10,000 spent on you in 2009/10?



WHAT COULD YOU REALLY DO WITH NEARLY £670 BILLION? I mean, really...

Finance Trivia Note: Did you know that the four major banks in UK made more than £25 BILLION PROFIT last financial year, that's on top of all their costs, all their outgoings and bonuses -- I have no idea of the gross value of those four banks. And did you know that the value of PROPERTY in the UK is worth nearly £6 TRILLION! Money the banks are owed by You The People. Just thought that might interest you, knowing that our coalition government has cunningly negotiated an almighty $2.5 billion per year from the banks in their recent kid-gloves-tax "bank levy" and their Project Merlin initiative has made them get assurances from the banks that they will "start lending money to businesses again..." you know, just so you can appreciate the real value of irony.
