I think your interpretation not quite right

The Bank of England is supporting Northern Rock

The money has been loaned, not spent, although there is risk it may not be repaid in full

BUT, you are right to suggest that if money can be found so easily for this why not for hospitals and schools, where the government did not provide loans but did instead resort to the absurd PFI scheme

Having watchd the news and researched a little on the internet it seems that 'we' 'the nation' are now going to suffer. The debt from Northern Rock some 40 million is going to be paid off with tax payers money. With the hospitals in dyer straights and our schools in need of urgent money , I believe this is truley wrong. Do you have any further information on this? Thanks Tina Dear Sir
