FT: Redundant bankers to bolster Treasury

Bankers who lost their jobs in the credit crunch are to be offered work in the Treasury as Alistair Darling beefs up his department to try to keep pace with the financial crisis.
The chancellor is looking to hire up to 70 people, with a focus on sharpening up the Treasury’s dealings with the Square Mile. He is expecting a flood of applications from former bankers.

I trust they have formal banking qualifications, apart from greed, immense arrogance, and a total misunderstanding of how our brave new joined up world really works.

So not only did they put the fox in charge of the hen house, they are now recruiting fox cubs and furnishing the interior with them.

Hmmmm hope they're vegetarian fox cubs.
