My arse
I suspect it'll take more than you standing there in all your glory, 'dirty mac' wide open, to shock said cunts into anything worth writing home about.
Can't see what they've got to be sorry for, tbh. It's the cunts wot defaulted on their mortgages what need a right kicking. It's been an odd day, today. Read an article by George Monbiot in the Grauniad, and agreed with every word. I wasn't even sure that was possible.
actually...oh, ****, I can't be arsed generally. but, yes, at least in theory it goes some way to re-instilling market confidence and the potential to rebuild the general concept of liquidity.
I don't see how the bankers can be blamed that much for the current **** up. They exist to make money for the shareholder. The shareholder tends to be a short term sort of bloke, and so the banker did things that would make money in the short term. IMO regulation should have stepped in before we got into this shit storm - the BoE and others were making unhappy noises quite some time ago, but nobody gave a **** because everything seemed good...

Indeed. Perhaps the new poacher turned gamekeeper trend will be extended to all areas of regulation. Ronnie Biggs is perhaps a little too long in the tooth to be an assistant chief constable, but someone else suitably qualified could be head hunted from the underworld. The Chairman of South West Water obviously needs to become head of the Environment Agency. As to the other FSA, that bloke who ran the shop where they were preparing food in a rat infested shop with a corpse lying about is clearly destined for a place on the board. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Pete Fisher I like it. I *like* it. "Mr N Champion was sworn in this morning as the new Chief Constable of North Wales Police. In a later press conference, Mr Champion said that he would be emphasising a crack-down on inappropriate driving on the Principality's roads. In other news, seven hundred and forty three motorists have appeared before magistrates charged with 'driving like pissed old gimmers'. In London, the new government Drugs Czar, Mr B. Bear caused a little confusion at a press conference by answering all questions with the statement 'Yeah, like... Whatever...' whilst giggling."
Did you actually watch the three hour committee interview? I thought they really were quite contrite.
