A politician; why that’s the equivalent of bringing a thermonuclear device to a gun fight.
There’s reporting going on in the U.K. that the Bank of England may be implicated in this whole mess as well.
I’ve been following this latest financial debacle via the British press, and the consensus, pretty much among all political persuasions, right to left, is “Hang the b**tards!” in varying degrees. At a bare minimum, a serious criminal investigation is certainly warranted. Of course, I’m equally sure the political class will have none of that, thank you; it may well hit a little too close to home.
On that subject, both Labour and Conservative have reason to be very, very nervous.
Bob Diamond, Group Chief Executive/Executive Director of Barclays, is going to testify before MP’s on Wednesday. That should be highly entertaining.

It’s amazing, well not really, that all politicians are cut from the same cloth. Lying sack of **** cloth. It seems to me that many if not most have been playing at politics since high school. I personally don’t vote for anyone that has held too many offices. They get to like the perks a little too much.
