So now that Bob Diamond has taken the hint and had the decency to fall on his (probably well compensated) sword, what can we expect from the politicians?
Principally, I mean the likes of Ed Balls and Ed Miliband and of course, the man himself, Gordon - no more boom and bust - Brown.
It is probably way too much to expect that they would have the decency to resign - remember, these are the same guys who have yet to apologise for massively over-spending and leaving the UK economy in such a parlous state.
Mind you though, maybe it is best that they don't go. Maybe it is best that they (or at least the 2 Eds) are around to try and explain that they are neither the 'Senior Whitehall sources' nor the initiators of those people that gave a 'nod and a wink' to Barclays.
At some point, these economic 'giants' (that's a code word which translates, outside of Labour Headquarters, to economic idiots or incompetents) need to be called to account, along with their almost equally culpable cabinet colleagues.
Health Tip: Please don't hold your breath waiting for any of the Labour leaders to own up and say they got it wrong. The only things they learnt, from 13 years in power was how to spend other peoples money (taxpayer's, our children's and lender's) and how to dissemble.
