(Darling): "Erm, you know that bit of a mishap that you created, its going to crash the financial system!"
(Darling): "What can we do?"
(Banker): "Give me a contract and I'll tell you"
(Darling): "Okay, here's £117M in consulting fees for you and your mates"

...sometime later..

(Banker): "Okay, I have the solution, use taxpayer's money. They should pay for it, those gutter rats"
(Darling): "Brilliant idea, here's a £5.8M bonus, lets call it a success fee"
(Banker): "Brilliant, right, gotta go Al O'l buddy, busy weekend fox hunting, spiffing"

I wonder what hourly rate per person that translates into. Compare with scientists' pay (re current climate furore) who are generally more highly qualified. If this isn't corruption of the system I don't know what is. One can foresee riots given a suitable catalyst.
