jamie diamon left jpmorgan supposed heart attack 

cant be true because she didn’t have a heart

he has set the record for the most criminal charges of any banker in history and that’s saying something

I bet he is mighty relieved to have finished. I don't envy the job of his replacement.

All your posts seem to stem around hate, loathing and destruction and suffering.

Good job. Steady Captain.

His so-called forward guidance quickly turned into a bit of a mess, and IMO he let himself get a bit too partisan during Project Fear, prior to the original Brexit vote. Maybe just a sign of the times we live in, but I also thought he spoke too much for someone in his position. Not unlike Bercow in that respect. Seemed to think anyone was actually interested in him, rather than just the MPC and its announcements.

That's the modern world of social media. Over analysing every single word spoken. More recently he seems to have learnt the lesson and taken a step back.

Same style worked ok in his previous job. These days you feel sorry for anybody in public life. As whatever they say is just dissected by endless radio phone in's and ill informed journalists.

Carney was a chump brought in to keep interest rates rock bottom indefinitely and so keep the house price bubble inflated. He made excuse after excuse not to normalise rates and 12 years on from Lehman we are still stuck with emergency rates. He's loaded the MPC up with feeble doves too scared to raise rates.
After a decade of cheap money, we're now reaping what we sowed, house owners mortgaged to the hilt, savers investing in risky assets to get a yield, interest rates cuts with no impact and a fragile banking sector, good riddance Carney.

That's as maybe, but he wasn't in his previous job was he?
People in public life should evolve with the times, I don't feel sorry for any of them.
Last 10 years social media has changed the way most of us work.
