He committed the biggest individual fraud in history but France is lauding the 'quiet and fragile' Jérôme Kerviel as a national hero who took on the system.

As an Englishman I have a hereditary distaste for our neighbours, but this article has made me think again.

Interesting that he looks like he'll be blamed for the next recession...

Whats interesting is that the 'media' will tout Mr Kerviel as the cause for the economic downturn .. maybe they should be looking elswhere? Whatcha think ... :) Who will be blamed next? Mary J Blige?
