Anglo...lease....fleece...freeze

The global economic meltdown is obviously beginning to threaten the snow on the Swiss Alps and has got this little "neutral" country swinging into action. "The era of banking secrecy is over..." say the big fish at G2O...

The US is turning up every stone in search of loose change and scripting new Hollywood blockbusters is well underway following the recent arrests of two bankers from the world's largest manager of private wealth by assets: UBS

So justice is indeed poetic if not pro-active and this change in global climate is turning the heat up a few notches even in downtown Nairobi. Guess who's loot just got frozen?

Ours!

Alas, we have more to offer the world than just hard cash: Kwani taught us How to Write About Africa very well and now we can tax lyrical too: "The veil on the shadowy figures behind the Anglo Leasing..."


Too well in fact. And now it's not just all the metaphors that are turned upright. Figuratively speaking: one + one DOES NOT = two (anymore)...

Interested to know how it all really works? Then you have to learn how to creatively deconstruct non-fiction. I admit: I am one of those stupid is as stupid does kinda guys but I am learning which piece of chocolate to pick...
