Yellow peril decommissioned as Labour realise they may need Lib Dem muppets after all !

So the famous Yellow Peril blog has disappeared. If you try the URL you end up with Forth Term blog's site.

Could it be that the Brown Shirts are realising that they may need a coalition for their Fourth term ?

Anonymous said...: actually, there is a sizeable portion of Labour Party members who would openly revolt at the thought of any deal with the Lib Dems.It would be a tough sell in those northern towns where the Lib Dems are the now natural enemy of Labour.This is something Blair never understood when he floated the idea of giving junior ministerial posts to the Lib Dems in 1997; I think his postbag over the next few months convinced him that this was utterly unacceptable to the grassroots.; 12:39 am
Man in a Shed said...: Its the reverse situation with the Conservatives in the South. Many a local Tory actiovist would rather chew his/her own arm of the cooperate with the Lib Dems. ( Oddly enough it has been far more productive to cooperate with Labour down here ).

Maybe that will be the way forward in Wales. I can't think anyone wants another election, though I would expect Labour to fair better and the Lib Dems worse if it happens.; 9:22 am

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.
