Tumbril for Mr Fuld

If anyone deserves to be chopped up and fed to rabid alligators it is Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld.

In March, this money-grabbing vermin was awarded a $22 million bonus for 2007. His bank duly went under and marked the beginning of the world's current financial woes.

That amount of money is staggering. Whatever happens in the world economy Mr Fuld is going to be fine - as are all those other financial wizards who are responsible for the world economy going into a tailspin.

Set up a guillotine in Canary Wharf and dispatch the lot of them. Mr Fuld could be first.
