Burma 'orders Christians to be wiped out'

See this in today's DT.

The report tells of monks (Buddhist I assume) burning down churches and being sent to forcibly convert Christians to Buddhism. The secret government memo "The Christian religion is very gentle,– identify and utilise its weakness."

I wonder if our governing Labour party has any such email on how to deal with the Church in the UK on their secret email system. ( Assuming nobody in No10 has been over zealous with the deleting.)

Man in a Shed said...: Of course the problem is your email exists in a number of places - and even if you think you've deleted it inspector Knacker of the yard has some good forensic tools these days ;-); 2:37 pm

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.
