The post you are reporting:
Things in the garden were lovely, so thought Parliament as a whole. The house price 'boom' was especially favoured by those in Parliament, almost without exception. As house-price-inflation was, and perhaps still is, one of the percs of being an MP.
Things did get out-of-hand in the financial sector over in the US, so much so that markets had to found further afield - preferably somewhere more lax as to regulation - somewhere that could speak the language (English and greed-fest-mumble wise).
Governments, can't do this, can't do that. Leave it to the Market and all will be well, is still the Mantra.
The truth is never complex, that is chief amongst it's charms.
Profits go to and remain in Private Hands. Losses are to be borne by the public in general.
ANY and ALL who seek to turn the focus of the debacle onto the fact that Government gave the Financial Sector sufficient rope - all the rope they requested - and must now accept the responsibility, and cast it upon the 'unsuspecting' public are those who insist that the gains should remain in the coffers of the culprits just so they themselves can hang on to the bit they got.
The muddle IMO. Is that those that insist on talking-up a seed-leaf as a tree - in all but name ( the better to boost confidence) are the same people who descry this particular knighthood, but I suspect it is much the same nonsense.
Imprisoned?! For what? In any event...he would never be lonely, and he would not have been first.
