Ordinary people soon to eat cake

Are you one of the ‘ordinary people’? This term is increasingly used to distinguish us from greedy, immoral, cynical (le mot de jour) bankers. We, the ordinary people (doesn’t seem long ago we were described always as ‘consumers’) have become steadily more upset by the perfidy of the masters of the universe. But, surely, consolation is at hand for soon (forsooth) they may feel the lash of a silk tie… prison sentences, fines and dishonour may follow. And, then, we shall eat cake. Because simple pleasures do us.
