Crosby resigns

A major scalp in the banking crisis. Sir James Crosby has resigned. Since nobody seems to resign these days for anything this is a real surprise - although given the coverage on telly last night and the headlines this morning - The Times particularly wounding - maybe it isn't such a surprise. See if it comes up in a few minutes. Sir Compton expects Brown, hopeless lump of Scottish dunderheededness, simply to explode or repreat himself hoarse. Fight! fight! fight!
