There is a slight whiff of sadism in the air. When David Walker, chairman-elect of Barclays, appeared before the British Parliament earlier this week, he said bankers must be prepared for "anguish, pain and grief." Meanwhile, The Economist suggests that bankers and banking have become pitiful, that banking jobs in London are falling away faster than Arts Commission grants.

But is it really that awful? We've asked you before, but we'd like to know again. Is the sadism misplaced?
