Oh you just have to go along with it. Whenever banks are involved, the done thing on this website is to hold your head in your hands and wail loudly about injustice, fat cats and thievery. Extra points if you can throw in a reference to Thatcher or a recently deceased relative who was screwed by the bank.

Don't bother with research. If you absolutely have to, scan one biased article and pick out a couple of facts that support whatever you've written. Ignore any that don't. Alternatively, lift your opinion straight from The Guardian or Daily Mail.

Good call. Highlighting an obscure personal tragedy is a good way to avoid having to explain your opinions.

No need to differentiate between banks, either. They're all part of the same evil empire, after all.

Ina Drew, the JP Morgan banker in charge of the largely London-based unit behind $2bn (£1.24bn) of trading losses at the bank, was paid $14m last year.

They are part of the same trading system, resting on a form of pure capitalism which is post industrial, global and almost entirely unregulated.

Another idiot in a American financial company betting pro euro just like MF Global. This guy may have put 200 billion into European corporate CDS. The 2 billion loss is maybe just the CDS that have been called in last six weeks and not the total loss from unwinding the total amount of position taken.

Very good. Have you ever seriously read any of "the other side" of the argument."who Runs Britain" by Robert Peston is a good start, and it makes perfect sense (unlike the bloke interview/reporting style it has to be said).
