It's no good getting angry and wound up about it! His sort have, and always will exist. He's just the tip of the iceberg of a culture of greed. Those who borrowed on credit so they could swan up and down the road with their fat arses in their 4 x 4s are just as much a part of it.

His type have always existed. In the reign of James l, royal servants were paid by the granting of monopolies, which put up the prices of basic commodities like soap for ordinary punters. A man called Giles Mompesson became notorious for accumulating these, until he was brought to book by an angry Parliament in 1621.

He was fined, imprisoned, but best of all, made to walk down Whitehall with his head in a horse's anus.

Would be ideal for Sir Fred but a bit harsh on the poor horse perhaps.
