brown – in the brown stuff – even deeper

so, without any prompting from the pm’s office (sir) james crosby resigns from his ‘bobby’s job’ as number two at the financial services authority, minutes before the issue will become the day’s single subject at prime minister’s questions. what a stroke of luck!

well, since the function of the fsa is to regulate the behaviour of uk banks and most of our banks are now basket cases you could almost argue that we barely need it any longer, so that’s alright then 😉

surely, however far more important a question is, given that crosby is widely ‘credited’ as architect of the mighty halifax building society’s transformation from a horn-of-plenty to a begging-bowl, a feat which could only be achieved courtesy of a woeful lack of regulation, why the hell did brown even think about giving him this job in the first place?

don’t you think things are bad enough already? give me strength man! when you’re up to your ears, stop digging!

listen sap, they’re playing your song. (sorry, i couldn’t find the ‘if you bugger-off’ remix). do us a favour. ship out — now.
