The 'human' cost of Lehman collapsing.. or whatever..

Rose-Kitten [Edit] [Delete] 11:18, 16 September '08

I know it's the Daily Mail *yuk* but I do like to read how some of the majority interpret news and world events.
Check this out: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1055970/Misery-despair-The-human-cost-Britain-Lehman-falls.html

"Investment bankers in their Porsches and Aston Martins are not universally admired on the Isle of Dogs and a couple of locals turned up to revel in their misery. Investing in the U.S. housing market must once have seemed like a stroke of genius. Not yesterday though. The East End lads hugged each other and shed mock tears as the workers came out to an uncertain future."

Honestly, what tossers would actually behave in that way..? Jeer and mock people who have just lost their jobs, livelihood etc...??

Also, I wonder if the guys who took the artwork from the New York office will actually - - eventually - - receive any cash funds for it in lieu of wages lost?

Crazy times.
