Yes.  'The unacceptable face of capitalism' ...

This is the kind of thing a mildly socialist chap would say to his
banking friends
down at the club. 'The fat bloated face of children eating
bastards...' might be a
better metaphor...

Note that 4 out of 100 children 'in care' in the UK go into higher
education, because
the fat bloated bastards have been hogging all the money.

'In care', now there's weasel word! 'In secular purgaotory' might be
a better description.

I don't know much about economics,  but my view is that
governments, backed up by a democratic mandate, need to be much more
pro-active in controlling banking, business and accounting practices.
Clearly, the issues are global and require international co-operation.

There's a bit too much of this placid complaining going on -- as
Aristotle said there's
a time to get angry, in the right way, and at the right time. This is
that time.
We need show Gordon Brown and his bunch of idiots that that we are
heartily
sick of him and his banker mates. The Eton tory boys look little
better -- how could
they coming form wanker banker training school? The lib dems are wet
and flimsy, they
need a leader with steel, not a womanising wet. Cable isn't bad, but
he's not a leader. Get
Charlie back, and ignore his penchant for fire water (it seemed to do
Churchill some good!)
When is someone going to emerge form the mainstream who isn't wet,
but is appropriately angry and saying the right things? Shami
Chakrabarti entered that
space with an appropriately angry attack on Hoon on question time last
night, on the government's
totally abhorrent attempts to hide their complicity with torture. Time
for economists to get equally angry and vociferous, and for the BBC to
give them a platform. This sick government needs to be torn down...
