    VOR - you are right, but the US Navy also have form, as the relatives of the numerous innocent victims of aggressive US bungling on that Iran Air flight over the Gulf would remind you. Pot calls kettle black, I think

    kenchan, I don't work in finance directly - and I have no big personal axe to grind one way or another. When the consequences hit, they hit everyone, though.

    jeancolmar - you are absolutely right. McCain comes across as a fair man - albeit a politician - and he's to be commended for his defence of Obama's character against an angry mob of ignorant fools in Minnesota.

    The fact that ignorant Americans use the term "Arab" as a term…

    A true Labour leader would make laws to get these corrupt bankers banged up, and lose all thei ill gotten gains.

    err....the problem is that the Government themselves share a major part of the blame for allowing the banks to get into this mess. Gordon Brown, who was happy to…

    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…

    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 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
