Whilst stand the Banks of England...

I am currently sat watching Mary Poppins, wonderful Sunday afternoon viewing if you ask me, however that is not my point. Surely everyone is familiar with the "Tuppence" song, when George Banks takes his children to the bank, his workplace, and tries to get Michael to invest his tuppence in a bank account...there is a part of the song when the elder Mr Dawes (played fantastically by Dick van Dyke) exclaims loudly "Whilst the banks of England stand; England stands! When the banks of England fall; England falls!" and this struck me as almost funny considering today's financial climate. If a film that is made primarily for children could pick up on that, why on earth couldn't the government? It reaffirmed my belief in Disney.
