"...serious research and verifiable evidence on our economic and financial system. This is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective and explains the inner workings of Central Banks and the Money creation process. When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does this mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when the monetary, and financial system, breaks down? Produced by Queuepolitely and featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor, the "HBOS Whistleblower" Paul Moore, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign." - Text by Mike Horwath

WHERE HAS ALL THE MONEY GONE?
Mick Sumbling

1. Said the First Lady to the second son
Where has all the money gone?
Lining the bankers’ pockets, John
The speculators and the neo-cons
Where has all the money gone?

2. Said the Godfather to his number one,
Where has all the money gone?
Freshly laundered at a tax haven
In a bank account in Switzerland
Where has all the money gone?

3. If your mortgaged, then you’re out of luck
With no fat mattress you’re really stuck
Up the creek without a paddle with the rest of us
Without a vest or a hope, we can only ask
As the ship is keeling over fast

4. Where has all the money gone?
Where has all the money gone?
Lining the bankers’ pockets, John
Washed up on an island in the sun.
Where has all the money gone?
