Banxiety: a very modern malady

Tonight I shall turn off the goggle box, for fear of a modern pox blighting me to the core. No visible outward signs, but a rigorous tension within characterises this illness. Banxiety, recession depression, news blues... call it what you will.  The cause is an excessive ingestion of unpalatable data about bad debt, crippled banking systems, economic collapse and other hitherto unimaginable horrors that are now afflicting our country. The symptoms are sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach region and an irresistable urge to see greedy bankers brought to justice.
