Man in a Shed: And now for England

And now for England

Today Lord Baker puts forward a motion in the house of Lords to allow for English votes on English matters. Labour ( and especially Gordon Brown ) are running scared here.

Their plan to carve England into regions failed - along with much else Prescott has been in charge of.

My predictions are as follows:

There will not be a Conservative Gov.t in Wales or Scotland in the next 25 years.
There will not be a majority Labour Gov.t in England in the next 10-15 years - if an English parliament is created.

This is not a trade Celtic MPs will make - but what about you Mr Cameron ?

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
