And after mumbling for a minute or two, he explained about this ‘Blondes for Bankers’ scheme
Newsbiscuit: Government to provide fund-managers with attractive girlfriends to boost confidence
Alistair Darling has unveiled a radical new package to boost investor confidence in which all the men working in senior positions in the stock market will be provided with beautiful women who pretend to really fancy them.
‘Confidence amongst City Bankers is at an all time low’ explained the Chancellor. ‘But our research shows that when attractive young blondes laugh at their jokes and tell them how clever they are, traders begin to feel better and share prices rise.’
sorry, thought we all needed a laugh after the train story

newsbiscuit isn't banned because its lighthearted humour which is needed every once in a while. If people posted articles from it all the time it would get banned.
Its funny, government countermeasures really are getting more and more extreme. Hurrying through legislation (overnight!) to force banks to pass on interest rate cuts?
Are they forced to pass on rises too now?
Extreme. Weird. Not very funny.

Hang about - the James at 4 isn't me - i.e. the James you know and love! Were I a more conspiracy minded sort of fellow, I'd suggest that someone's got a smearing agenda... I rather like newsbiscuit, dailymash, onion, &c.
