OH, THE POOR LOVES.

'Theatre impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber is offering free tickets to two of his West End musicals to bankers who have become unemployed in the credit crunch.'

What a philanthropist. Poor little ... bankers. I'm sure they've never had an opportunity to go to the theatre before. Really though. Knob off. I believe there are cleaners who've become unemployed in the credit crunch as well. I'm very much in favour of free tickets for people who can't afford to go to the theatre, and televised performances, and general cheapness. (I'm seriously morally opposed to the exclusivity of theatre. It's slightly a problem.) But not free tickets for bankers. Also I read an interview with a woman in the Guardian today who used to work in the City and said her job wasn't intrinsically evil. I fail to agree.

I hate finance. I love what David Mitchell said in Mock the Week about it all being imaginary. People ought to listen to David Mitchell.
