      Well you do have a point there, but I liked his use of the phrase 'adult supervision'.

      Personally I'd propose handing over the control of banking to a cooperation of Tibetan and Franciscan monks who have take a vow of sobriety and modesty, and feel no need to enrich themselves from the hard won savings of others.

        Yes, as Gordon Brown has proved. He took supervision of the banks away from the BoE about six years ago.

        Never mind the balance sheet - keep lending, keep spending, and make my growth figures look good.

        Imagine coming home and finding him humping the missus...

          It's more like going to work, knowing he's doing your missus, who enjoyed it immensely, until she discovered she'd been given the clap.

            Who would be worse, him or Prescott?

            At least you know she's safe from Mandelson.

              A money with a typewriter would do the job better.

              SEC (and even in larger part FSA) failed on the job and their bosses should be spending the rest of their life in jail in cells opposite to the bankers they failed to supervise.
