Tony, wouldn't you prefer 'Hank' Paulson to Gordon Brown?

Some much-needed humour was brought to fraught dealing rooms last week
by the Hedgestock festival in Knebworth.
This event reflected London's growing role as the hedge fund capital of
Europe, and as such, attracted some of the most powerful figures in the
industry. The London community beats Wall Street hands-down at having
fun and not taking itself too seriously, which was why the festival
featured fund managers wandering around in velvet suits and hippie
wigs, under the slogan "make money, not war". A rare combination of
beads and BlackBerries. A lot of business, a lot of fun and plenty of
money for charity.
