Tuesday 22nd January - world finance in turmoil

The amazing losses by banks around the world but particularly in America are hard to credit. How do Americans claim to be world leaders when so much money is squandered and lost...

One of my most enduring memories of the USA in 2006 was how many beggars there were in New York and San Francisco. They were on all the streets and there were certainly more per footpath metre than I have seen in any European city! I have never seen a beggar approach a 13-year old boy before and ask for money... a bad experience for J in NY and SF!!!!

George Bush has presided over Katrina and the impoverishing of America... he will certainly be remembered!
