We'd do well to remember that, when these boys are on top, they will talk tough about how the point of competition is that the smartest survive and the weak must go to the wall so the system remains efficient. But when they're in the shit, they invent a special premium due for "the benefits of Anglo-Saxon capitalism".

Perhaps that could come with a medal. Or a poney.

From a commenter:

British Energy investors right not to rush into a bad deal - Telegraph

The evil state-run EDF delivers the cheapest electricity, complete energy independence for our electricity at least, with an excellent track record in security and reliability.
Pray tell, what are "the benefits of Anglo Saxon capitalism"? Enron? The subprime mortgage crisis? The decrepit rail infrastructure in the UK?
Are you for real?

Well, this commenter would be a eurotrib reader whose login name begins with "nic". :)

A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.
