      It'll be ok, they can take their 'talent' elsewhere apparently.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            I wondered what bloodbath meant, but luckily the article had a picture of some red water to explain this.

            And, as for your last doom attempt, it sounds like most of those jobs are foreign.

            What is amusing about it by the way?

              Does that mean I should expect a chance to get a job in finance just after Christmas then? Seem to come in waves.

                This bit tells a story: "..cuts, .., will come in France (373) and internationally (1,023).."
                Lots cheaper and easier to sack employees outside France

                  Governor Mervyn King painted a gloomy outlook for the UK and said it would face a tough fight to address the problems in the eurozone and further afield. "The underlying global problems of trade imbalances, unsustainable levels of external and internal indebtedness and loss of competitiveness remain. Sovereign and bank funding concerns are symptoms of these underlying problems," he said.

                  ... more gloomy writing...

                  King said he sympathised with the people he met on his visits around the UK who were suffering as they tried to keep their businesses going and to stay afloat despite the squeeze on incomes.

                  "These people were not responsible for the crisis and they are suffering enormously as a result of it," he said. "I have enormous sympathy."
                  So who is responsible? Possibly you and your cohorts in the banking industry...
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    BNP are hardly in the city. When I went for an interview there I had to show my passport at the border control.
