Gordon Brown capped a tumultuous week for the country by using anti-terrorism laws to simultaneously seize some of its UK-based banking assets and legally castigate the Icelandic government for "totally unacceptable behaviour".

Unreal to abuse laws made after 9/11 against a "friendly" country. The Netherlands handled this situation a lot better.

zorglub are you just trolling? I can't believe you're this ignorant.

--- Nuked ---

The defensiveness comes from zorglub talking about the situation as it is in ANY way limited to Iceland...

We're seeing the excactly same situation with numerous banking institutions, for example Royal Bank of Scotland and many many many other...so it's imo idiotic to talk about the "icelandic gamblers" and some bs like that...

The devastating scale you're talking about comes from several reasons, mainly that the icelandic banks were/are far larger then the whole icelandic economy, secondly that Gordon Brown decided to use the situation to gain political following by using anti-terrorist laws to cripple Kaupþing, who had gotten the chance to try and stay afloat...

Where did you see me mention that this is in anyway limited to Iceland? you seem paranoid to defend your nation, I will let you in on a little secret, we had the same gambling guys in banks here in Denmark and one bank needed to be saved by the government and we all have to pay for their gambling habits.

its a gamble many people would take because if it works you get rich in stock options and golden handshakes and you get a great resume, and if it doesnt work well nothing really happens and we all have to pay for their losses. Only difference is that Iceland obviously took even bigger gambles than our banks compared to the national economy
