The Two Johns appeared out of nowhere, and nowhere could you find two guys firing off on all cylinders with all the wit that makes British humour unequalled by any other country. Just sublime.
(Head of Deutsche Bank said): “He no longer believed in markets capacity to heel it self” - oh dear, Deutsche bank’s head may ask his ancestors from 1930-40 how they “heel” economy at the expense of neighbour countries.
The problem is the man in the street does not understand investment banking. Investment banks offer a range of products and services that complement each other. When the investment environment makes one product good it often makes another product bad. The pool of people who fully understand these products is small. So you keep them employed by reduced wages with the wages made up with a bonus pool based on the profit of teh bank and the profit of the product sold. This lowers the wage cost of the bank and ensures that if a product is doing well you do not lose the team. When as is the case the bank lost money on Mortgage backed bond they made money on other products and therefore were contractually required to pay the bonus elements based on product sales. When the politicians took over RBS they decided to stop bonuses but then were forced to pay higher wages. They still lost the exceptional people and were left with the average. On top of that the teams selling the product in demand at that time also left. Hence the bank lost a lot of money.

The days when comedians were intellectuals.
Absolutely brilliant. Only the UK can produce such utterly hilarious comedy, satire, biting social commentary....

Pure gold. Unlike the banking system. Ironic comedy at its best. Clown world at its finest. RIP John Bird.
John Bird...truly wonderful talent. Whether sniping at bankers or rubbing along with Stephen Fry in the PR game...treasure these moments😂
Up there with Yes Minister. They've all gone now and no one has replaced them.
I only know him from yes minister. Great actor. The director of the national theater.
These guys were pure gold
Now that 'would' be funny, if it wasn't so truthful. and tragic.

Superb
I would be laughing if I wasn’t already crying
George Parr had his finger in so many pies…
Spot on
@Phedrus1975 Wouldnt be satire if it wasnt truthful, right? :D I love these sketches.
What's the catch when he says that it would be fair that all bonuses are eliminated provided that bankers are compensated for loss of earnings?
Basically he's saying that as long as they're paid a compensation equal to the bonus they've lost, it's alright.
@@Anechoic thank you, kind stranger. It was a 5-year wait, but someone answered!

Is that what one calls reality?
And nothing has changed

Hmmm, don't find Fortune amusing in the least. He always seems highly nervous and ill at ease.
he''s the straight here. If he doesn't do his bit then the skit doesn't work. And it clearly does.
I miss the laugh track...
They never had a laughed track. It was a studio audience. Anyway it's funny enough to stand on its own.
because nobody laughs at it anymore.. :(
Excellent but the line between comedy genius and factual reality is frighteningly blurred !!
