Stoke-on-Trent expects

So, now it's payback time...because we now own half of the greedy high street banks and building societies, and we saved their jobs, we in Stoke-on-Trent expect some humility.
This should be in the form of immediate interest rate cuts to help those who are struggling to pay their mortgages.
However, despite Gordon Brown advocating mortgage rates are cut, the naughty bankers are saying that they will think about reducing interest rates to customers.
Think?! What is there to think about? The people of Stoke-on-Trent demand a cut. If it wasn't for us you wouldn't have an office to think in...
It's our tax payments that has saved these firms which have mishandled their businesses so badly that they were going down the pan.
Yet, I've never seen a word of thanks. All we hear is we maybes or mights and "any chance we can still have our bonus..."
These people have got to get real. Surely Gordon can step in and tell them to slash rates or he will pull the funding on behalf of the good people of Stoke-on-Trent (and Britain)...
