If wishes were fishes : ). Can I introduce you to a conspiracy relating to City of London and Wall Street?

Don't misunderstand me, of course we are the junior partner (Suez canal imbroglio being the watershed).

The Brits have some pull it seems. But my personal perception is that we are going down .. hard. Pardon me for the interjection .. got it off my chest
