Now lets apply the principle to the Public sector, I bet, that shower have wasted more money in ten years than the Bankers have. The difference is that for nine of those years the bankers were an asset. Now they have turned into a liability it's whinge whinge whinge.<BR/><BR/>Look, the guy that was in control of the Economy for the whole 9 yards, that corrupt incompetent nincompoop, he is now Prime Minister.<BR/><BR/>He set up the regulatory environment, that didn't notice anything, anything at all might be wrong. <BR/><BR/>Darling?

The only way they can actually get what they want in this - as with so many areas - is to legislate.
