Cheer Up, Says Sir Mervyn King


Don't be downcast, it may be the worst depression since records began, and the whole world faces years of misery, but for Sir Mervyn King there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful.

For example, he's already got a knighthood and the promise of a fucking peerage (or he'll start digging up some of those bodies buried by the whitewash report into banking regulation).

Plus he's got a fucking brilliant book deal lined up.

And he's secretly on the books of the same agency who arrange Tony Bliar's after-dinner money-making speeches.

Then there's his copper-bottomed inflation-proof mega-pension, ( which he has arranged will be paid in gold rather than the rubbish sterling notes he's been busy printing for the proles. )

So cheer up, Merv's doing great.

Quite RP.

The unaccountable are more often than not untouchable, they may feign that that they care or are informed, but they don't give a stuff, nor do they need to...

Mervin had plenty of opportunity to challenge the government of they day when the unfunded binge began, but no he took the money, and titles.

People like Mervin are paid huge amounts of money to know and manage things. The only thing they manage successfully are their bank accounts - probably offshore.
