I fully understand people's anger at the bankers, but what I don't
understand is where the same people think the wealth and taxes are

When "New" Labour came to power, 20% of the UK's GDP came from
manufacturing. That is now down to 11%. The importance of the City
of London and its investment bankers is therefore even greater now
than ever before.

The very same who got us in this mess? Throw them out and get some new
ones in.


Although it grieves me to say it, our economy is more than ever
dependent on these people, and we will never get out of recession
without a healthy financial sector.

Throw them out? It's like electing a "new" government only to find
out that they are even worse than the last lot.

Or wanting rid of a lying, warmongering Prime Minister only to find
him replaced with an even more incompetent "clunking great fist".

Such is life.
