Why men are to blame for the crunch 12:33pm on 29 Jul 2009 "all culpable bankers are male"

lets think about another

"all BBC journalists are socialists". Discuss.

PS. All journalists with family links to the Labour party, please make your disclosures, Robert.
News of the World bugged Sun editor 1:21pm on 10 Jul 2009 Since we've apparently given up all attempts at keeping this as a busines story....

51. Well said.

In the old days politicians of all colours, once caught, trundled off and that was that. Compare and contrast today's lot to Profumo. After he was caught out he spent the next 30 years working quietly for the homeless in the East End. Could you - in your wildest imagination - EVER imagine Peter Mandelson doing that??????

No. You write a non-business story about phone tapping. Stick to your mandate and let Nick do the politcs.

On second thoughts if you want to write a blog on discredited news organisations, what about a blog on BBC EXPENSES...........
Does Europe need hedge funds? 9:47pm on 09 Jul 2009 63.

But youre quite happy to share the tax take FROM london, arent you.
Does Europe need hedge funds? 12:47pm on 09 Jul 2009 Boris is spot on.

The backlash against financial services has been driven by Labour politicans keen to blame bankers/financial services to shift blame away from their ruinous and profligate spending. Lots and lots of "non-jobs" (all of course with final salaries)

Think about it this way: would the French ever allow any EU directive to be born that hurt agriculture, or the Germans for cars?

In the UK we have a large financial services sector. This is not something to be ashamed of, but rather to be proud of. It generates billions in service exports. Good on Boris for standing up for the City. It has taken decades to build a Frankfurt and Paris beating financial services industry. Dont let Gordon Brown destroy it for short term political advantage.
Royal Mail in a falling market 07:40am on 03 Jul 2009 Beware of Labour's intervention in the postal system....

I could operate trains 11:35am on 01 Jul 2009 12 years... and still no integrated transport policy.

1997: J. Prescott cancels long awaited widening of A21... because.. it is surrounded by "blue"....

check this map out (dual carriageway apart from small section) - looks like the clogged artery which it is. Every day for the last 12 years people have sat and fumed in their cars becuase of J Prescott.

Rebuilding the foundations of finance 1:51pm on 17 Jun 2009 .. and who do we have to thank for the appalling returns on pensions? Step forward G. Brown whose first act of theft in 1997 was to remove dividend tax credits. Not a problem for him of course on his state-sponsored scheme. Former Labour MP Robert Maxwell only stole £400m. Brown has done 25 Maxwells a year, for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!
Rebuilding the foundations of finance 11:54am on 17 Jun 2009 * Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in charge of UK plc oversees modest expansion driven by massive increase in debt funding of company's capital structure.
* Company stakeholders are questioning the former CFO's role in audit committees and financial regulation committees, as the accounts are being questionted.
CFO moved up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role on resignation of former CEO 18 months ago and is fighting stakeholders who want to remove him. Former board members of UK plc now writing book, with working title: 'The turd that would not flush'.
Rebuilding the foundations of finance 10:40am on 17 Jun 2009 lets face facts:
Banks fed the SUPPLY of cheap mortgages
Regulators - and their political masters - implicity encouraged the DEMAND for cheap mortgages

That is how you get a massive housing boom and bust.

The Banks wanted to feed their profitability, the politicians, in charge of the regulators, dont want to stop a party. How many politicans talked about the need to hold back house price rises? Answer: none, as its politically unpopular.

To say there is no regualtory/political failure is simply wrong and is designed to avoid political backlash
