Financial crisis. Global meltdown. Economic turmoil.
Good lord, there's nothing like spreading a bit of panic to get people frothing at the mouth, is there? What is needed is a bit of calmness; a bit of cool thinking, and then when we have done that we can point our finger at the Americans and say it's their fault.
And it is, too. Lending money to people with no jobs and who have poor credit histories and have no discernible way of paying it back is not only dumb and pointless but criminally negligent.
So the people didn't pay it back and THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE to the bankers! Who then went into a panic and tried to call in their debts causing other banks to panic until the whole thing spiraled into the present situation of doom and gloom.
And are these people being held accountable? Are they hanging their heads in shame and apologising for being such complete twats? Nope. Instead they belligerently demand that the governments of the world bail them out.
Well I say fuck 'em. Sure, it might mean that I will suffer financial hardship too, but it will be worth it to see those chinless, snotty-nosed, over-privileged gits lose their jobs and have to sell one of their houses in Tuscany or down-grade their Rolls Royce to a Bentley. If one or two of them could throw themselves into a river, or plunge from the top of a sky-scraper then so much the better. And there isn't anyone alive today who wouldn't gladly rush out and buy a pair of tap shoes so we can dance on their weasely-faced graves.
