WHITEVANMAN... ON FRED THE SHRED

摘要

I don't know why the men in suits stopped at whatisname Fred the Shred when it came to half-inching his knighthood on the grounds that he'd made a monumental cock-up with his bank. Pretty well most of the establishment had their snouts in the trough back then in 2007. Politicians were shovelling buckets of cash down the public sector's throats like there was no tomorrow, ministers thought the sun shone out of the bankers' rear ends 'cos of all the taxes they paid, house prices were rocketing as punters thought cheap money would go on forever… I mean, anyone who got a gong in those days ought to hand it right back.
