My copy doesn't.

I don't think the FT are particular fans of Bob Diamond. And let's not forget that as soon as the rate rigging by a few of their traders was first discovered by Barclays' own systems, it was reported to the FSA - by Barclays.

So "Diamonds are the FSA best friend" then

Everyone knows the Diamond market has been rigged for years

Unfortunately things seem to be getting rather more complicated. There is a suggestion that Bob Diamond believed the Bank of England had expressly authorised Barclays to manipulate Libor. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18665080

Cue civil servants and politicians spraying themselves with Teflon.

I'm a big Floyd fan, and yeah, it was funny even for The Scum...er...The Sun. Working in London at the moment on Nine Elms Lane and our site office is about 250 yards from the Battersea power station . Not seen any pink pigs yet, but lots of helicopters including the big Chinooks.
