Man in a Shed: Has Blair already been interviewed by the police ?

Has Blair already been interviewed by the police ?

The mole over at The First Post is suspicious, and you know he's got a point. A lot of 'generated' news coming out of the government at the moment. (I'd add St Patricia appearing on the Today prog this morning - something she would be well advised to avoid at nearly all costs.)

Spin, deceit dirty tricks ? NuLabour ? It certainly fits.

But events say otherwise: Blair was interviewed between 11am and 1pm today (Thurs14Dec06) - not under caution. The spinning and questions are in full flow at the moment.

"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.
