I see quite a lot of Ken these days, he is a kinda rolypoly jokey guy in British politics who draws the short straw and becomes finance minister, only since it is the Brits they fit him out a tin box and call him Chancellor and this is all part of immemorial tradition, like a crisis for the pound.
His guy Steve tells me Ken is hooked on the City, meaning the end of London where the markets are, someone tells him this is a great export industry, tho' when I first arrive the old hands put it kinda differently, Herbie, they tell me, we just shovel money around the world and hang onto what sticks to the shovel.
Anyhow, says Steve, Ken figures what it needs now is a panel, some right thinking guys who can put their heads together with him and help make it mightier yet, so calls are going out to round up the usual suspects, and some unusual ones too, our panel must show how truly international this financial center is, so we ask nice Mr T from Nomura who is everyone's favourite Japanese, and by the way, Herbie, you're tapped.
