Now that the great and the good and the not so great and the not so good have left, the dissection of the G20 communiques begins. The best analysis I've read so far is from Wat Tyler at Burning Our Money. It's written with knowledge but in simple English for those of us who are just weary of endless financial non-words being spoken to us each day. Craig Murray also has a post which fits with my view.
I posted this photograph to remind you of the meaning of hero worship and the phrase 'the cat's got the cream'.
For a definition of the Scots word peerie look here but it does have another meaning in the Western Isles.

That is a nice picture of "The Embarrassment of the United States of America". He does not wear the flag lapel pin when he is back over here.
I noticed the anarchists were out in force today too.
Does he not Admiral? They're all posers anyway. I'm sick of seeing Gordon Brown with that sickly worshipping smile. It was all pats on the back and touchy feely stuff from your President.
You must miss him, he'll be back soon :)
You've possibly seen this Admiral but just on case:

No, I don't miss him, I would love to donate him to Iran.
BTW,
I would like to post that Video on my blog and give you the Hat Tip if it is OK with you. Let me know. You are up very late this evening.
Yes of course you can post it. I would but I think my female readers would be very upset. It angered me really.
I fell asleep earlier after spending an afternoon gardening, hence my lateness now. Must go to bed shortly though.
A gardener, Subrosa? As well as a blogger. It's my good lady whose the gardener here.

Wasn't this (b)ankfest nauseating.
OldRightie, such a beautiful garden. How I wish I'd taken photos when I bought this place. Give my congratulations to the gardener and I do hope she pays her labourer, maybe with a decent meal now and again. My under gardener is quite useless so he's not often let loose, that is when he's willing to lend a hand and that's not often.
Yes this circus was nauseating. Disgusting too as it was a show of the wealth of the 1% to the 99%. I'm still fizzing but will go and take it out clearing more leaves. I've 50 yards of beech hedge round here and 10 months of the year I'm bothered with leaves.
I have to admit that the G20 went better than i thought. Gordon Brown i hope does not take all the credit becouse as i wrote on Nikos blog, "its in no way a one man show".
France and Germany are the big winners but i hope in the comming months its the whole world that will be the big winners. If any good comes out of this G20 summit then it has to be one of learning, learning from out past greed and risks at the expence of the masses. No more fat cats is the mantra..!!
Spook it's all smoke and mirrors, the whole lot of it. Do you honestly think the 1% of the population will start sharing their wealth? Not in a million years.
Those people who presently use tax havens will find another way. After all, London has been the biggest tax haven and money laundering centre for years. What about the non-doms?
Nothing will change and it's a disgrace for Brown to have rubbed our noses into the extravagance and waste these G meeting produce.
