The no brainer election in France - which could be a problem

Television France 24 is wondering what the world thinks of their Presidential election:

My guess is that the Royal woman is better looking than the bloke with the big nose, but the big nose should win as he actually seems to learnt the lessons of the last 20 years.

Its a no brainer really as Ms Royal has already shown herself to be unable to handle any form of responsibility, and is even more of an air head when it comes to socialism and France's need to get its act together.. However it is France she's running in - so maybe she has a chance after all !

Anyway here goes the free advertising - if you have a camera and some time please feel free to go and make some fun of the French with Man in a Shed's blessing ...

They have yet to work out what Mrs T was on about all those years ago ...

You have until the 5nd of March 2007 to send us your contributions!

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.

Inflation is taxation without legislation .. Milton Friedman
