As George Osborne (clearly caught by surprise by the theft of people's savings in Cyprus) announces that the UK will compensate British troops and British government workers in Cyprus hit by the planned "bank levy", it seems that the wheels are already falling off this harebrained idea.

However, as a result of the not unsurprising outpouring of anger by Cypriot citizens over the smash and grab raid on their accounts, it has now been postponed until tomorrow.
