Until you’re inevitably tipped by a passing troll.
Former energy minister and would-be Lib Dem leader Chris Huhne and his ex-wife economist Vicky Pryce – both jailed for 8 months yesterday over a penalty-points scam dating back to 2003.
Sure where would you get it?
Not here.

I know you don’t normally do this but I received an itinerary from Ryanair for a return flight from Luton to Kerry, for 4 April, returning 8 April, to my email address. There is more than one of me in the world it seems. Are you, or do you know, or are you or anyone expecting a Paul McK*** to arrive in Kerry that weekend, returning to the UK? Are you, or do you know a Sharon B***** who may have booked this flight for him? I want to send him his itinerary, or he’ll be ripped off by Ryanair to the tune of 40 quid to print out the pass.
Anyone?

Upshot: the Eurozone’s financial markets are buoyant but its real economy has been lagging, while unemployment is distressingly high in places.
He blames “balance sheet stress”: household, corporate and bank debt and produced a slide showing a Venn diagram the countries that had all three: Ireland, Portugal and Spain having all three.
He said the IMF believes a banking union, together with a single supervisory mechanism in Europe, is the way to fix Europe’s financial woes, the subject of which one can read here. He called for more public debate about the proposed banking union.
Asked for his thoughts on a banking inquiry in Ireland, Mr Chopra pointed to the three previous reports on the crisis: by Patrick Honohan; Peter Nyberg, and Max Watson & Klaus Regling, but declined to comment on whether there should be a parliamentary inquiry.
