In this incredibly hot friday afternoon, while the streets of Soho downstairs are buzzing, beautiful faces walking around almost everywhere and it is possible to see more fashion trends in 5 minutes outside than in any fashion show, I am going to write about.... Angela Merkel.
Yes, Angela the German Chancellor, this fascinating woman whose glorious bum was shown all around the world in papparazzi pictures while she was changing her bathing suit(I was shocked a the time, and I don't remember this happening to any other head of Estate), She ironically has shaken the financial markets with the ban on 'naked' short selling.
Naked shorts — when the person selling the asset does not own it and has not borrowed it from a third-party broker — had been blamed for exacerbating falls in the stock market.
The question here is that after the financial turmoil of 2008 and the subsequent economic crisis, politicians claimed that they would take measures and pass on new regulations to the banking sector, but few of them have been approved over the last two years.
Yesterday Angela showed the markets her power, markets plunged as a reaction, but I have to admire her determination and her will to stop the euro crisis spiralling out of control. You may agree or disagree, but she definitely has got guts, and we like that.
Talking about nudity, I bet we are all going to be almost naked this weekend, running to get a good dose of Sun...
