Funny how the relatively small fry get prison and the real thieves walk away from it.

I didn't infer that she will avoid imprisonment, did I read it wrongly? I thought "next time" must refer to her next court appearance for sentencing?

She must get prison for that, abuse of trust and position if nothing else.

Oh sorry, I was listening to the radio report earlier. I feel that prison is inevitable.

The real banking crooks are still walking away with millions.

Of course, because they are hand in glove with the regulators, and locked into a gigantic fraud encompassing the entire western economic and political hierarchy.

Too big to jail.

Poor* woman. I guess she thought she could get away with it.

She got 5 years and presumably they will sell off her assets to re-coup as much as possible.

"...you have to wonder why she did it."

From The Independent's account:

'She admitted her crimes to police, telling them she deserved the money for working such long hours, getting up at 5.30am and getting home at around 8pm for a salary of between £60,000 and £70,000.

"I saw the opportunity and thought 'given the hours I work I deserve it'," she told officers.

"If I went to work for another company I would probably be earning four times as much."'

(tinyurl.com/9cfwlmm)

She had a false sense of entitlement and of being hard done-by. It's the same skewed moral sense that fuels a lot of social problems at the moment. It's all part of not taking responsibility for yourself and convincing yourself that you are in some way a victim.

She has decided to widen her job experience first by working as an intern.

Surely the point really is that in the deregulated post-Thatcher world a lot of these people are paid salaries that quite simply amount to theft?

This poor lady felt left out because she was only being paid a moderately astronomical sum, smaller than the sums being paid to people like her in other unspeakably dreary, unbearable jobs. Who could possibly blame her, given the generalized thieving morality we are supposed to be able to cope with these days?

I often wish I could have stood the boredom you have to bear to get rich. But I couldn't. I just couldn't. I'm a bit envious, but not very.

Yeah, let's blame Thatcher again. Nothing to do with the last lot of f-wits.

There was a post war consensus. She broke it. The 'last lot of f-wits' decided her way was a new consensus and continued in same vein.

Oh, that's OK then. Thatcher's fault.

Too feeble and self-indulgent.
