World War III is upon us....

Juice has fired the first salvo via this post, and it remains to be seen whether or not Milk decides to take the bait.

I've had some discussions with the Rotster, as to whether or not peace will be allowed to prevail. Only time will tell, but we're both checking their blogs every 5 minutes see what comes next.

Outside the bubble of the Poker world, the news of the days appears to be a meeting between Private Equity managers and MP's. Private Equity firms have been accused of many unsavoury practices, such as asset stripping and sacking people. And only a fool would believe that a large proportion don't exploit tax loopholes to achieve massive tax breaks. However, while I have nothing to do with private equity and know nothing of the ethics involved, the whole spirit of the meeting siginifies, to me, one of the biggest problems with this society. Basically, a few guys are making a lot of cash, and Labour's grateful masses cry foul. Why is financial success viewed as such a vice in this day and age?
