The City

It's never everyone, however the City as "financial entity" is now tarnished considerably.



Banks should do simple things and charge for them reasonable fee: sending money around, taking deposits for safe keeping and investing them into something liquid and safe (gilts).

Companies that put money into derivatives, CDTs, etc should have a BIG sign "CASINO" put on them and never be able to take deposits or have liabilities more than they have cash deposited in a proper bank.

Of course not - SKA is doing brilliantly now, I am just waiting for formal completion of one long running thing to announce Very Big SKA News - this time not placeholder, hopefully I'll be able to do that before that meet up in London - I might attend (though I won't be offering "have a drink on me" to barmen there).

Why do I have this feeling that you might relegate him into 4th before too long!
