Lord Myners:

A government minister has told bankers "to come back into the real world" after Royal Bank of Scotland directors threatened to resign over bonuses.

City Minister Lord Myners said it was unrealistic that bankers should expect to be paid million pound bonuses.

I love - I absolutely love - this idea of a Nu Labour Lord telling bankers to come back into the real world. It is a bit like the Pope ordering President Ahmadinejad to avoid blind faith in an ancient, unsubstantiated religion. It would be funny, if it wasn't so hypo-fucking-critical.
