We do only have his side of the story. How do we know that he wasn't abusive towards his wife and that she returned to Japan for that reason? It does seem pretty odd that without warning she'd up sticks and run off with the kids if he was looking…

BBLeo - what's "lucky" about this guy being murdered? Not much, I'd say...

rjdsr - HSBC and Lloyds are primarily retail and corporate banks. Nomura is an investment bank - there's a big difference. Nomura's past headline successes have come from recruiting foreign talent - e.g. Guy Hands - and paying them substantial rewards to do deals their way, without too much interference.…

Helter Skelter - please, never EVER stop posting. Your characature of a crazy right-winger cheers me up on the saddest and dullest days.

The red-under-the-bed paranoia, the unquestioning support for cartoon character nuts like Sarah Palin and your annoyance at the "leftist media" in the US (!!!) are collectively hilarious…

The simple fact is that Palin has already repeated deliberate lies about Obama - the "94 tax increases" lie, for example - and so why should anyone take her seriously now. The woman's a joke

Sarge - errr....perhaps because you said that you were ("lol")? But I suppose after cheering 300 billion being flushed down the toilet as you failed to control Iraq and promoted Al Qaeda terrorism, what's another 700 billion (borrowed from China and Japan, because you are effectively bankrupt as a nation)…

Sarge - not sure why you're laughing out loud about the unfortunate need for your tax dollars (and those of your kids and grandchildren) to be thrown at an enormous financial problem which could have been avoided by the current US government. If it was my taxes and my government,…

Sarge - not "delusional" (thanks), clear sighted, more like.

The existence of Al Qaeda in Iraq is completely a result of Bush's foreign policy. All of the thousands of deaths that they have caused (probably many, many more than died on 9/11) are therefore also direct consequences of US policy,…
