Stembridge compares banks to dogs

    Gerry Stembridge was on with Rachel English this morning.
    He said that the financial institutions remind him of dogs. If a dog does something wrong and you give out to it, the dog will look guilty. Not because the dog is guilty, but because it knows that that's what you want.
    He thinks financial institutions behave in the same way.

    Not to be rude, but what's your point?

    No point really - I just found it very funny.

    Maybe it needed context.
    It came in the middle of a serious discussion on NAMA/Zoe/AIB/Canada.
    Stembridge just popped in with that and the studio burst into laughter.

    I suppose the subliminal point is that we all know that if the opportunity arose again in the future the dog will do the same thing.
    And, in all likelihood, if the opportunity were to arise again in the future so will the banks.
