The academic Charles Bean
If academic rigour, monetary policy experience and an affable personality were the only qualities needed in the Bank's next deputy governor, Charles Bean's promotion from his current post as chief economist would be inevitable. But appointing yet another cerebral ex-professor from the London School of Economics will do nothing to deflect criticism that the Bank is too attached to academic dogma and out of touch with the realities in financial markets.

Gordon Brown, la douche écossaise
Pis, Brown semble avoir perdu tout contact avec son peuple."Là où Tony Blair avait la capacité d'embrasser la culture britannique dans son ensemble, jonglait avec le monde des célébrités et les paillettes, Brown s'affiche comme un intellectuel qui aime lire. Il se coupe de la réalité hédoniste, consumériste de sa patrie",assure Tony Travers, politologue à la London School of Economics.
