God I’m getting increasingly fed up with the City. As the son of a banker, and with numerous friends employed (still) by financial institutions (Jeez, even Lady Westwood works for a hedge fund), I might be expected to sympathise with our poor capitalist compadres who continue to be the focus of such ire. But this line being trotted out about the loss of talent that will result from a 50% tax rise is too much. Fine, its not just those working in the City who will be affected, and there are arguments about how much revenue will actually be gained (or even lost) as a result of the move, but bankers are the prime focus of such moves. And they believe it is a killer argument that we will now lose the brightest and best because of Wednesday’s budget announcement. For god’s sake, that is the best bloody argument for the rise I’ve heard yet. These were the twats who got us into the shit in the first place, and now they think we might worry that they’re all going to leave. Get a sense of self-awareness – what a bunch of see you next Tuesdays.
