Spivs!
From today's Daily Express:
VINCE Cable stepped up his extraordinary class war attack on capitalism yesterday by calling for punitive new taxes on middle-class wealth.
Despite a barrage of protest about his anti-capitalist rhetoric, the Business Secretary pressed ahead with a ferocious onslaught on the “spivs and gamblers” of the City in his speech on the final day of the Lib Dem Liverpool conference.
Yes, who on earth would use 'anti-capitalist rhetoric' like the word 'spivs' to describe bankers?
Oh, I see. When it's Vince Cable doing it, it's class war. When it's the Express, they're just 'speaking their mind'. I'm glad we've cleared that one up.

He is DC’s licensed fool. He deflects and disarms criticism.
That’s the theory, anyway.
