Rigging the LIBOR

Interest rates in foreign currency in Israel are always LIBOR plus. The plus could be negotiated, not so LIBOR that descended from Har Sinay (where God resides in a burning scrub). Now we are notified that LIBOR was not the sacred word of God but of a cabal of cheating goyische pirates. We (I mean all the world) were being robbed all the time. The Economist: The rigging of the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) betrays a culture of casual deshonesty. London as a financial center is kaputt.


What now? The money will look for a secure place and honest guardians. New York is the best, Frankfort is    good, Singapur will take Asia. .

Bob Diamond is "goyische"?

Yes, Bob Diamond is of Irish Catholic descent and was raised in a family of nine children, per wiki. Neither he nor his daughter are Jewish-looking.

The Powers that Pee will not let London go down the tubes as a financial centre.

They will make an example of Diamond, or someone.
