Who Tells You Who You Are?
FROM THE MINISTER
QUESTION: What is
the difference between an
investment banker and a
pigeon? Answer - ‘a pigeon
can still put a deposit on a
BMW’.
Whatisthedefinition
of an optimist? ‘A banker
who irons five shirts at the
weekend’.
So a gallows humour takes
over when things get out of
hand.
Andthoughwemaynot
understand the complexities
of global finance, we do have
a sense that something has
gone seriously wrong.
Mindboggling sums of money
have been wiped off stock
exchanges, banks have been
forcibly merged to stop them
sinking, and others have
been bailed out - effectively
nationalised - not just in
Britain but in the seat of
private enterprise, the USA.
Billions upon billions of
taxpayers’ money have been
spent to prop up a faltering
system.
Who would have
believed it?

Archbishop of Canterbury,

why the credit crunch
