I too like the image of the old Eton boys club handling things smartly and discretely but my gut feeling is that once 100 billion of foreign money is on the table and politicians are involved, things can get a little primitive, very quickly. My feeling is it's probably more important to certain parties at this point to maintain alliances and justify budgets than to maintain certain civil liberties of the public at large. At least that is the way it seems.
