rather than just any old junk, everything has to be approved by [Michael] Landy himself. If he likes it, it goes in. He only wants to destroy good stuff. This seems to be a matter of pride. "I suddenly got protective about the bin, and I thought, 'I don't want just anything to go in.' So there's this completely subjective thing that only things I like will go in. There's not hard and fast rules, to be honest. Erm, hmmm, yeah."
So what, you might ask, is this Landy thing all about?

The decade now ends with the threatening shadows still in the caves and the whole thing bookended by another recession caused by unreal money. The banks were worth trillions and then they weren't. The enemy was invisible and money unreal. In the Noughties, all that was solid melted into air, into thin air.
No wonder we felt insecure. Shadows wanted us to die, and we might at any moment be broke. In fact, if you want the word of the decade, here it is: "security".
