Man in a Shed: When is a full term not a full term ?

When is a full term not a full term ?

Quentin Davis ( he of the sudden conversion to socialism ) has declared he was elected to serve a full term and won't be standing down for anything like a bye-election so that his ~~conned~~ constituents can decide if they want to have an MP who supports the interests of the Scottish Labour party.

So a full term means a full term in NuLabour speak, right ?

Only Tony Blair is ~~being forced from office by a Brownite insurrection~~ stepping down early - despite what he promised to the country, and letting the clunking fist in which he knows is unsuitable to run a Kirkcaldy Fish Supper shop - let alone the UK. He's also decided the people of Sedgefield are unworthy of his continued efforts to represent them ~~now he has what he wants from them~~ and is off to chase his legacy in the middle east.

So the real answer is NuLabour will do whatever is most convenient for themselves - personally. When they promise - they really deceive, and when they give oaths they lie. Its who they are.

PS Going to have to blog about the rest of today latter on - internet off - Blair may be running away, but I've got the annual school sports day and Father's race (aka annual mid life crisis race) to perform and I must get lots of work done this morning. If I'm alive by this evening then I'll be back for another chomp at the evils of socialism and its servants.

As usual the race was very competitive - the keen fathers could be spotted in their - just happened to be wearing - running shoes.

Maybe next year ... I'll get two goes. Once for the Infants and once for the Juniors sports days.

Still my little girl managed 2nd this year ( up from 3rd last ). Now I'm wondering if I should coach her next year to beat the Father in the running shoe's daughter...; 8:29 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.

Inflation is taxation without legislation .. Milton Friedman
