"Ya took ma hoose you gave me more freedom than you will ever know."
It is now the new sign of the times as spiralling interest rates are forcing people out of their houses.
This sign of obvious frustration and perhaps at the same time of relief was on a shop front on the streets of Glasgow.

~Repost ~ More jailbait banksta LIE-BORE crap...
" Who are these faceless US 'ratings agencies' that threaten the viability of entire continents? "
Just askin'..
The Big Three credit rating agencies are Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, and Fitch Ratings. Moody's and S&P each control about 40 percent of the market. Third-ranked Fitch Ratings, which has about a 14 percent market share, sometimes is used as an alternative to one of the other majors. ( wiki )
It seems we have an imposed political dogma now, not only from the nasty eton boys in non-mandated power. We are compelled to dismantle our public services in the name of 'austerity'.
Now these faceless jailbait banksters confirm the British Chancellors fiscal ineptitude.
(I thought that was a given with the Lib-Con politicians we have in control of the economy anyway!)
Alternative Open Source model:
In October 2011, a new collaboration based business model called Wikirating was developed by Austrian mathematician Dorian Credé. The online community credit rating platform aims to provide a transparent source of credit rating information, reviewed by a worldwide community.
(Not that anyone will be aware of, or allowed to use it, the banksters will make sure of that.)

Dating myself here, but I remember when I was in the car biz, rates had only recently fallen into the mid 7s, and people were hailing it like "Wow, that is so low!" Nowadays--with housing prices four or time times as high as they were then--it seems unthinkable how anyone can afford to borrow at rates half as high unless they make the big big bucks.

The Reserve Bank head office as with the other Reserve Bank buildings around Australia were designed by the Commonwealth Department of Works Banks and Special Projects Branch, utilising the Late Twentieth-Century International or Stripped Classical architectural style.
The building is constructed with a structural steel frame with welded joints providing rigidity and resistance to wind loads. Floors and basement walls are of reinforced concrete, with additional reinforcement and security features incorporated into the walls of the basement strong rooms. The upper level floors (above ground floor) are constructed of light weight concrete to reduce weight in the structure.
The facade treatment of the building is distinctive and derives from both the modular design created to allow office subdivision which is expressed in the window mullions and the use of materials including the extensive use of natural stone.
The Reserve Bank buildings throughout Australia reflected a confidence in things Australian and in the future, when the Australian economy was booming. They were designed as statements of ‘corporate pride’ and the vital economic role the Reserve Bank aspired to play in the Nation. The buildings were significant in creating an International image for the Australian economy, and were in part due to the vision of Dr HC Coombs as the first Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Sydney was the first project in this significant building program following the purchase of the site in Martin Place from the Council of the City of Sydney in December 1958 Dr Coombs was determined that the Head Office would be an impressive structure, built to reflect the Bank’s prestige and leadership of the financial system. As the flagship building, it was to be largely constructed from Australian materials.
The Head Office opened in 1964 and included a number of specially commissioned modern sculptures and an ‘Australian’ native garden in Macquarie Street. The building was well received in architectural circles, but drew some criticism from the general public, who dubbed building the “Marble and Gold Palace” for its perceived extravagance on Commonwealth expenditure on Public Works, which coincided with a ‘credit squeeze’ within the general Australian economy.
The design of the Head Office building reflected the architectural philosophies of the time, providing a tower located over a podium that related to the streetscape, and incorporating extensive staff facilities.
The Head Office accommodated both banking and administrative functions, and staff training and recreational facilities. The building originally contained a target practice facility to enable security staff to be trained in the use of pistols and small arms for security.
Stylistic Context
The Head Office, Sydney, was designed in the Late Twentieth-Century International style, although the design of the podium draws on the characteristics of the Late Twentieth-Century Stripped Classical style.
The Late Twentieth-Century International style was a continuation of the post-war International style of the 1950s, a style that was widely published in architectural magazines of the time, and initially was influenced by Walter Gropius. By the 1960s the style had proliferated under practitioners such as IM Pei in the United States of America and a number of practitioners in Australia where the style was largely associated with commercial and institutional buildings.
The Head Office building is composed of a twenty-two storey tower with three levels of basements. The lower levels of the tower contain the public areas and a cantilevered podium.
The building rises to a height of 80.5m above the Macquarie Street Ground Level. The 3rd Basement is 12.5m below ground level.
