Think of the kittens!

I'm so glad the government has decided to leave Iceland-investing councils in the lurch, but rescue charities.

For one thing, the Cat's Protection League lost millions. And you can't blame the cats, can you? They have short attention spans, don't care about money, and the only thing they know about Iceland is that it has a lot of fish. On that basis, you can't blame them for sinking all their funds into it.

But you can blame grown adults who ran Council finance departments and, it appears, were paid large sums to ignore warnings from their share advisors. Meow.
