So I would take issue with Jamie Dimon. The chief executive of JPMorgan Chase is quoted by Brooke Masters in her column (December 30) in the series “2025 A year in a word”, when he compares cockroaches to the parasitic, often fraud-ridden companies that have been fuelled by cheap, careless credit from private equity investors. The real cockroaches are far more productive and useful to the world, and (even the species that dog our footsteps around the world) far less dangerous to our security and wellbeing. Natalie Bennett Green Peer, House of Lords, London SW1, UK
