Hack animated cartoon-the Northern Rock crisis

The Northern Rock crisis hints at very nasty problems associated with the city of London and the way Gordon Brown allowed it a long leash while he was Chancellor. The resulting crisis looks like the unpleasant result what former Chairman of The US Federal Reserve bank, Alan Greenspan, used to call irrational exuberance.*
