sawyl | Beyond satire

The world is now officially beyond satire:

In unusually aggressive terms last night, the prime minister said he was willing to use anti-terrorism legislation to freeze the assets of other Icelandic companies operating in Britain in an effort to recoup the lost money. The extent of the potential difficulties for councils and other bodies began to emerge yesterday as more and more said they had invested money in Iceland's high-yielding savers' accounts.

I feel like I've fallen through a rabbit hole into a Ken MacLeod novel.
