There's blood in the water today on the stock exchanges. It's quite a pleasant experience to sit here as the mayhem goes on, with various banks bobbing in the water pleading for life belts. They've fucked it for a lot of people out there, ordinary people and they're going to go down because of these bankers and their overweening greed. They'll be alright; OK, so they may not be able to avoid the top range in cars anymore but they'll muddle by in a lot better style than a lot of others out there.
And do you know what, they'll still go and get their bonuses. These are just banking trash.
There's a quiet in the office, possibly it's the eye of the storm, as we wait for the next rush in stories as the market in London takes in the FTSE 100 crashing through the 5000 level. At the moment traders and analysts are in shock.
As you can see from these photos of CNBC, they're commentators but they're gobsmacked, a little punch drunk and a bit more non-plussed.
