Recently there has been an intermittent whiff of veiled threat during the post election limbo as regards what the financial markets would and would not like and what consequences may follow if the outcome is disobliging from the point of view of the financial markets.A question.
Who elected the financial markets?
Perhaps to paraphrase Brecht, the financial markets may care to dissolve the people and award themselves a new one.

'The ancient Greek punishment for adultery was to shove a radish up the adulterer's bottom'.
this canard has been doing the rounds since the C4th BC athenian banking crisis. still scholars are uncertain - although stephen fry said it on qi so it must be true. what i know is that juvenal makes a reference to adulterers having a red mullet stuck up their arse. yoinks! you have to pay good money for that where i come from.
Little Flower - what troubles you?
SW - It would be an unorthodox way of baking the red mullet. Is it inserted live or dead? A good stoning to death is less wastful of food methinks.
Ummmm.....OW!!!!!
That final image is pretty grim isn't it?
