"Asians make things and sell them to Americans, who borrow money from their suppliers (on the inflated value of their houses) in order to continue living beyond their means. Asians take their profits and either relend them to Americans...or use them to buy more productive capacity, in America and elsewhere.
For those who wonder where this trend will lead, we offer a guess: The average American will be left with a shoeshine kit and instructions on how to say 'please' and 'thank you' in Chinese...."

So you would think, but I guess the people they aren't hiring are probably the same people who had 1 hour commutes in from the home counties anyway...

London and home counties houses are in essentially the same market, so what affects one will affect the other e.g. if home counties houses get cheaper it will be more attractive for people to move out of London, pulling down London house prices.

I know...
"Long term and widespread mismanagement of risk , plus outright fraud" would probably help them to sell more papers AND be closer to the reality.

From the bowler-hatted gentlemen of the 1920s to the braces-wearing spivs of the 80s to the utter c*unts of the 00s... now meet your new financial masters.
The real reason for unemployment and not just in this sector. More and more middle-class professions will go this way.

As a Londoner with a job, I'd like to hope so. Only spanner in the works is the average London buyer doesn't come from London, or the UK, or needs to go to work.
Tell me all about it and start at the end.

The City is only a small contribtor to the london madness now. Only an annual tax on foreign owned property will give local people any chance in the London market. I fear hell will freeze over before this shower of sh*ite let this happen.

But surely all this talent can go abroad, where apparently they're clamouring for Britain's financial geniuses.

Very good point....our land and buildings have become one of our major tax efficient exports.
