Try "withdraw" or we'll stop underwriting the loans you are using to buy
votes with.


Which amounts to the same thing. I'm glad you agree with me.


No, "**** your economy" implies that the money was being used to do
something productive.

Instead the UK blew huge loans on social welfare while places like France
and Germany were using marshall plan aid and loans to develop new and
improved infrastructure.

A price we paid bitterly for in the 70s and early 80s.
