Vince Cable Finds Banks To Be Crooks.

Vince Cable has discovered that banks are actually a bunch of crooks, it was revealed today. "They are trying to dodge regulation by citing the present economic chaos that they caused in the first place," the Minister for Funny Business stated in apparent amazement. "Why would they do such a thing?" he asked wringing his hands with anguish. A spokesman for the Banking Association, Anthony Fiddler, commented; "Now is not the time for regulation with all this economic chaos going on. Regulation could mean that we're no longer allowed to indulge our addiction to gambling with other people's money and where would that leave us all?" Asked to intervene in the growing row, Prime Minister Without Portfolio David Cameron told the Italian press, "The banks have a point. Gambling with other people's money is an honourable profession. The Tories do it everytime we get elected into office."
