The Slog: The symbol-cum-mascot for Berlin is a bear…..und Mein Gott, the bad
news bears are now working overtime to cram in all the evidence of
disaster held back behind the dam until Fraud Oktor Merkel was back in
command of the Bunker.
Deustche Bank’s share value dived off a cliff after 1.30 pm CET this
afternoon, from €49 to 45.60 at the close. This followed a major revenue
warning earlier, a warning that didn’t come at any point at all between
September 5th and September 22nd. Wissen-Sie, how is ziss happenink?
All voss Quiet on ze Western Front and then Achtung – Donner und Blitzen! – all Hell is loose gebreaking.
Barry the Black Dude (having bet the farm on Germany some time ago)
did his best to provide the same “Don’t mention the Scheise” media
blackout, although towards the end there Mr Bernanke let a few feral
cats out of the carpet-bag. But since Tuesday am this week, the sluice
gates have been set at Full Open All….what with Draghi’s LTRO and Monte
del Paschei followed by Deutsche Bank’s Üntergang, and now private
pension funds being raided by the government in Poland.The Polish Government today announced that it will transfer to the state many of the assets held by private pension funds, slashing public debt but putting in doubt the future of the multi-billion-euro funds, many of them foreign-owned. No doubt the news was kept back until Geli’s personal plebiscite was done and dusted – perhaps under threat that what Germany did in 1939, it could always do again in 2013.
But fear not – World Champion Brussels ping-pong artist Antoniki Sampras insists that the Greek economy is about to explode into growth, Mariano Rajoy thinks chariots of gold will descend from the skies to fill Spanish Cajas, and Silvio Brylcreemoni foresees a bunga-bunga boom to rescue Italy from the jaws of bankruptcy. In fact, he has inadvertently given away the title of next year’s Italian Eurovision Song Contest entry, “Boom-bunga-bung-bong-bong”. In a Slog exclusive, I can now reveal the much-sought-after chorus lyrics to be as follows:
My fart goes Boom-bunga-bung-bong-bong right in your ear/ Boom-bunga-bung-bong-bong the smell of diarrhea
Boom-bunga-bung-bong-bong we’re all in the poo/ We don’t care a God-damn shit for you
