Following on from yesterday evening’s Turner Prize ceremony in Gateshead, when the public were again subjected
to some pretty thin creative gruel in the form of drab cerebral art fare, including this year leaning park litter bins, videos of floorboards
and scenes of urban dereliction rendered in modelling paint;  we at London Dada think it’s about time to call a …
turnip a turnip.

With the British economy apparently about to fall off a cliff, here’s fatcat mega jobsworth Mervyn King, govenor of the Bank of England,  passing the buck waxing lyrical about how Euro rescue now lies (sic) in the hands of the politicians.
( Well, that makes us pretty much doomed then.)

” The regulators around the world have said, and they still maintain this today, and I think they’re right, that for the major banks in the world, they have the ability to cope with this crisis …. it isn’t a threat to the banking system as a whole.”

—Mervyn King interview in 2007 before the banking system demonstrated its total inability to cope less than a year later
