  1. @pickledpolitics yup, as does RBS. But neither case worked out as "i-bank bust, govt forced to save retail bank"
  2. 2) R Murphy's research mostly hokey nonsense; 3) whole piece an attempt to exculpate craven politicians through whataboutery
  3. Piece daft because: 1) Glass-Steagall has 0 bearing on current crisis (most banks that failed were pure i-banks or pure retail banks)
  4. ...and while Cohen is a tit, it's hard to deny that he's left-ish rather than right-ish.
  5. On Cohen piece, didn't mean to imply all lefty economic thought illiterate - rather, there is a particular strain that it exemplifies
  6. RT @ismitim: On twitter "Social media guru" is code for guy that pretends he's a 15 y/o girl on myspace (via @chrissiem)
  7. @daveweeden well, actuallly @anattendantlord spotted it before either of us...
  8. Oops, Cohen piece should be http://bit.ly/2eVK0w
  9. I feel *sorry* for ww1 victims, but not *grateful* as whole shebang entirely pointless
  10. @anattendantlord because if it wasn't for ww2 fighters world would be a much worse place - ww1 irrelevant powerplay.
  11. Irrelevant crap about Glass-Steagall? CHECK. Quote from egregious Richard Murphy? CHECK.
  12. Nick Cohen article *epitomises* the unthinking, economically illiterate side of lefty thought: http://bit.ly/2eVK0we
  13. ...and entire 'meh' to those who were paid to do pointless and irrelevant fighting subsequently
  14. Thanks, rememberance, etc, to those who fought to save us in WW2
  15. @catdonn indeed, post-bloody marys no longer need home. hurrah!
  16. (that's temperature-cold, not aforementioned ill-cold. although latter probably a factor in fear of former)
  17. wanna go home, but scared of the cold and the tube...
  18. jetlag, evil hangover *and* a cold. thanks, fate, for bestowing these all on me simultaneously.
  19. @benlocker "in cote d'ivoire", i think
  20. @soph001 hurrah!
