Pretty much sums the man up. Frighteningly he is a very smart guy which combined with the calculated crap he spouts for his political advancement and actions like this showing no empathy, moral compass or remorse I honestly wonder if the guy is a sociopath.

he may be a smart guy - apparently though he is the less talented brother... think that labour might be following a theme here lol

Indeed, deputy CIO at PIMCO. Given that El-Erian reputedly made $100m, you've got to imagine Balls Jr pockets $10m+

I've met a lot of academically clever and often very likeable people who are unlucky and hapless to the point of being statistically unfathomable - accidents on two feet.

I've met a lot of academically clever people who are real world dumb - post-grad qualified, but unable to swap a light bulb.

I've also known very clever, articulate people who, no matter how hard they apply their intellect to the counter, are always the butt of jokes.

I've met intelligent people who are thoroughly vile.

But I've met very few individuals who so comprehensively fall into all the above camps as Balls. No doubt he's educated, but in terms of wit, charm, charisma and real world aptitude, he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

I don't know what all the fuss is about this is just a scratch its just a car, he was in involved with crashing a g8 economy a few years ago so a car is nothing...

I suppose he at least owns up to crashing the car, unlike what he did to the UK economy.

I think both were hit-and-run. The difference is that he thinks he hasn't been caught wrt the economy.
