Quote of the day

From The Guardian letters column (here), on behalf of fatcats everywhere:

"I am writing on behalf of my cat Bertie, who wants to complain about Steve Bell's persistent cattism (Cartoons, 9 and 10 February). Bertie, although moderately stout, would like to make it clear that he has never had anything to do with bankers. He deplores the fact that they accepted a massive bailout from the last government, and are now using this to increase their own blubber."
