Quote of the day

He's all talk and no trousers. Our beloved Prime Minister (here):
Brown said: "We are cleaning up the financial system where there have been problems and we are going to continue taking whatever action is necessary so we have a stable financial system."

Oh yeah? A ban on short selling restricted to the financial sector and for a few months only is not going to cut it. Plans to deal with insider trading? Obscene bonuses? Regulation of the hedge funds? Not that I can see.
