Tremendous letter today from the RSA chairman to Barrack Obama, pointing out that we didn't sink to anti-US prejudice when the global economy was nuked by "polluted securities from the irresponsible, unchecked greed and avarice of leading US international banks". Not only does he make a good point, but it's also great to see a man who should be boring and restrained (the Chairman of an insurance company) wading in and taking public pot shots at the President of the United States. If Barrack wants BP, sorry British Petroleum, to pay the cost of cleaning up this mess, then surely the rest of the world can send a bill to a) the United States government for pressuring their banks into relaxing lending standards so that people on lower incomes could buy houses; b) the US ratings agencies for being complete and utter crooks; c) Goldman Sachs because it seems that everyone is fair game so lets nail these smug tw*ts.
John Napier, I salute you!
