Another baffled journo came out with the above daftness.
What's so certain about the market economy?
If they want the old certainties they should adopt the old East German style of government.

I heard this before on Sky news. But it was said the city doesnt like the idea of a LIb/dem pact, after Gordan Brown caused all the problems" I kid you not

the news peeps have a lot to answer for... they're the ones that ramp up the fear factor.

That's why they prefer internal insider dealing.

It's so funny when City editors come out with that. Like saying "Bingo players demand to see the numbers before they buy their tickets!!"...absolute rot

The City - and their equivalents across the pond - got us into this mess, not Gordon. Who the hell cares what they think?
What they're really worried about is, the bloke whose party they have been bankrolling not getting into No.10.

And talking of biased journalism, have we all been watching Nick 'Tory Boy' Robinson's demeanour change from smug triumphalism to petulant whinging over the last 24 hours? Stop bleating about Brown being 'unelected', mate - no PM is ever elected! And Cameron didn't 'win' - if he had, he'd be booking Pickfords for Downing Street already.

OH (a fellow Beeb employee) is amazed no-one has complained yet. Still, at least it knocks all the Cons' complaints of 'left wing bias' on the head!

I thought Robinson was going to try to play down his Young Tory past. He seems absolutely exhausted tbf.

He's never let it colour his reporting up until now. But he couldn't keep the glee out of his voice when it looked like his lot were getting in. And now he seems just soooo bloody angry.

Robinson looks like he needs to go for a lie down with a cold flannel.

A letter in today's Guardian says:
"Are the markets that we are told dislike uncertainty by any chance related to the
markets that spent billions trading in securities they didn't understand?"
