Mandelson is our saviour

From Polly Toynbee of the Guardian:

"If Peter Mandelson can seize the banks by the neck and throttle the money out of them, forcing them all to lend at set rates, then salvation is possible and recession could be short and shallow."

Throttle money out of the banks? Seizing them by the neck? Forcing them to lend at set rates? And this is salvation?
