Self-Disgust Tribunal

'The sad fact is that only a deep recession is likely to generate enough national self-disgust at the destructive get-rich-quick value system oozing out of the City to create the political pressure for reform'. Larry Elliott, pertinent to the discussion below on economics and what have you. The comparison between bankers and Baader-Meinhof is especially priceless.

Regardless, the winter of discontent is clearly on its way, providing the unions hold their nerve for a bleeding change. On the subject of standing up for bastards - this man really is an absolute shit, isn't he?
