Cheeky b*st*rds! I can't believe that Goldmans have managed to spin this one as if they are the only investment bank in the world, and that their presence in Asia kind of means that it is safe for capital again!!!!
When the Goldmoonies get off the plane and unpack their horrid shiny Armani suits, they may find that there are already one or two (or indeed, 1,500) "professional bankers" in Hong Kong, working for things called Jardine Fleming and HSBC. This story should have been headlined
"Goldmans tries (once more) to build its non-existent Asian franchise, wonder if they'll lose their nerve and run away again next time things get hairy?!"
Actually, I shouldn't be mouthing off about the Goldmaniacs, as there is a certain buzz that they might be looking to take us over in order to get their hands on Jardines' Asian business. Just off down the Job Centre . . .
