Schadenfreude Corner

Things I have enjoyed during the 'STOCK MARKET TURMOIL' (hurrah for the Standard!): 'Darling says not to Panic', the spectacle of neoliberals asking for a state bail-out without a shred of irony, hanging round the Lloyds building thinking how easily all those girders would accomodate a few nooses, or perhaps a guillotine, and the question of what exactly is going to happen to all the gleaming trading floors being erected all over London: a few homeless shelters perhaps? Council flats? Or another arena for the public humiliation of the bastards who've made London almost uninhabitable? Just think of the possibilities. Or: what if the post office strike wins, and the City collapses, all in one month...? (reminds self not to be over-optimistic...)
