Quite right.

But some question more narratives than others.

was at it again re Northern Rock in the FT today but the lessons he draws are not quite the ones I draw....

Still, he's speaking a truth I've never seen anywhere else in the MSM.

FT.com: Any 'gift' of public money to Rock is pure myth

The Northern Rock affair has been a reminder of how dismally Britain's institutions can perform if they have poor leadership. In effect, the European Commission has been granted a veto on the future use of lender-of-lastresort facilities by the Bank of England, while the Treasury regards its own expertise as so inadequate that it must pay American investment bankers for guidance and counselling.

Ouch!
