Why Simon is angry at the Queen....

.....and why you should be angry at Her Majesty's Northern Rock bank.

The Northern Rock bank scandal rocked the world of finance, but what most Americans do not realize is that the credit crunch and much of the housing market meltdown may be traced to Northern Rock in Scotland and England. Many of our market assets are held in trading that is global, and naturally much of it belongs to England. Parts of the housing market especially. So, while Simon is angry, and ranting, about an oath of allegiance, I am upset with Her Majesties' financial markets. Anyone from England out there who can kindly ask her to fix them for the United States?
