    The Tories are still right, the private sector DID lead the recovery.

    ....Its just now, they're leading the downturn too.

    BNP are hardly in the city. When I went for an interview there I had to show my passport at the border control.

    Governor Mervyn King painted a gloomy outlook for the UK and said it would face a tough fight to address the problems in the eurozone and further afield. "The underlying global problems of trade imbalances, unsustainable levels of external and internal indebtedness and loss of competitiveness remain. Sovereign and bank funding concerns are symptoms of these underlying problems," he said.

    ... more gloomy writing...

    King said he sympathised with the people he met on his visits around the UK who were suffering as they tried to keep their businesses going and to stay afloat despite the squeeze on incomes.

    "These people were not responsible for the crisis and they are suffering enormously as a result of it," he said. "I have enormous sympathy."
    So who is responsible? Possibly you and your cohorts in the banking industry...

    This bit tells a story: "..cuts, .., will come in France (373) and internationally (1,023).."
    Lots cheaper and easier to sack employees outside France

    Does that mean I should expect a chance to get a job in finance just after Christmas then? Seem to come in waves.

    I wondered what bloodbath meant, but luckily the article had a picture of some red water to explain this.

    And, as for your last doom attempt, it sounds like most of those jobs are foreign.

    What is amusing about it by the way?

    It'll be ok, they can take their 'talent' elsewhere apparently.
