Bjorgvin G. Sigurdsson, the Minister of Trade, Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir, the Minister of Education, Science and Culture, Arni Mathiesen, the Finance Minister and Ossur Skarphedinsson, the Minister of Industry have just left the venue where Geir H. Haarde, the Icelandic Prime Minister is leading negotiations with the representatives of the IMF.
Government opposition members are still sitting at the meeting.
It has been announced that the result of the negotiations will be released at a televised press conference at 2pm Icelandic time. According to IceNews sources, Iceland intends to accept substantial assistance from the IMF.
What a laughing stock Iceland and it’s inhabitants are, now that you have to turn to the IMF with your begging bowl.
Your treatment of foreign depositors is completely unlawful and with a total disregard to international law.
The word racist quickly springs to mind with regard to these actions !
What else could the British authorities do but to the freeze the assets of Landsbanki’s London branch otherwise these Icelandic financial terrorists from taking our money to their miserable, cold, and barren land.
With each passing day, the resentment within Great Britain against Iceland grows larger, it’s quite clear you have no intention of honoring your legal obligations.
If the British authorities were to declare war on Iceland I for one would be the first to enlist and fight the thieves and crooks in power in Reykjavik !
Is it me, or has the Prime Minister gotten his hair dyed. Looks great! I’m glad to see he’s keeping up appearances amid this apocalyptic crisis.
Sorry to say it, but Iceland won’t get the loan. Not unless it comes to an agreement with Britain.
I don’t know what to think of the ‘Cold War’ between Britain and Iceland. I mean, Iceland’s banks had no money and they left 300,000 British people without money. They just shut out the depositors and gave no more information. On the other hand, I’ve read that Britain precipitated the downfall of Iceland by seizing a bank under that odious ‘anti-terrorism’ law.
Hmm, those ministers all left, while the IMF, Haarde and the opposition are still in negotiations? Strange. Well, let’s not unfairlyn assume that they are so unprofessional and unmotivated that they don’t care about Iceland’s financial future. They certainly had good reasons to leave. Hey, maybe it’s good news and they are all fired!
