Credit cunts

If a banker jumps out of a window in Canary Wharf and no one's there to see him fall does he make any noise when he hits the ground?

Maybe that's the sound of the credit crunch.

Unfortunately those greedy bastards who squandered your Gran’s life savings on a roll of the confidence dice will probably not be jumping from windows this time round. We can still pray for a rain of pricks in pin stripe suits and red braces failing around the city but the brunt of the crunch is going to lie with the kind of person Sarah Palin gets fired for not boning her sister (me and you). Unless you are Palin and her sister then you can go fuck yourself.

It does seem that every trader in the world has managed to graduate from the Nick Leeson School of economics. Six months ago you would have thought your money in the bank was as safe as houses now it’s more like how safe is your house.

Is it right to blame the bankers for the state of the worlds economy? Fuck yeah, how can anyone think they can take huge amounts of money out of a system and for it to still function? I know for one that HSBC made a lot of money out of extortionate bank charges so they will probably be OK unless everyone starts believing that rumour I started about the CEO fucking his pet dog on tape.

One thing that does piss me off about the crisis is that they paid themselves a fuck of a lot of money, the goose died and they ran to the government like a naughty child who had spent all his pocket money on sweets but still wanted some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, and the fucking government caved. I thought a free market involved companies that make shitty decisions getting bought out by bigger ones or dissolved.

If the crisis is that much of a threat to the world why aren’t there fucking tanks and troops in the city making sure CEO’s aren’t running out the back door with an xmas bonus big enough to shake the foundations of capitalism to its knees? Why aren’t they gunning down suicide investors as they buy up sub prime mortgages from myopic American banks who’s only asset left after the great bonus bonanza was a shitty fucking hick shack built out of corrugated iron and pig shit? Where is the SAS? The Paras? Call the fucking marines, just don’t give them £50 billion quid. How about that for high risk high return? Make good deals or we fucking shoot you.

Fuck short selling, sell your fucking 2nd house you overpaid spread better.
