Worst of all who would they look down on?

New York is another matter offering as it does all of the trappings of conspicuous consumption that they can’t live without – but I somehow can’t see our corporate Caesars willingly undergoing the regular rituals of humiliation that the American state now inflicts on foreigners willing to work and live there.

By all means bash bankers and the like, but then don’t be surprised when they move abroad, and then don’t cry about having to pay more tax yourself or have services and benefits cut.

((and before you say they won’t move abroad, they already have started. Already seen several Hedge Funds move to Geneva, and some banking businesses due to start in London have been moved instrad to New York and Zurich. Well done Gordo)).

take 99% of any bonus awarded in the last 10 years by banks which have been saved by the taxpayer? then they might all have to sell their second homes in Oxfordshire and I can buy one.
