Man in a Shed: Essex prepares ....

Essex prepares ....

Busy day today, so I refer you to Jeff Randall in today's Telegraph for an analysis of the news soon to be delivered from Essex man.

As I pointed out earlier in some parts of Essex Labour is being pushed into 4th place behind the English Dems and Lib Dems - with the Conservative vote heading in by the ton.

Essex is the home of the can do attitude in this country. When I brought my then fiancée (now wife) down from Scotland I tried pointing out to her how every house was different on the streets as we approached my old home in Rayleigh. Why ? Because everyone had put their mark on their house - extensions, drives, you name it people did it. The results may look a little chaotic, but they display a strong streak of individual self reliance and personal pride.

Well Essex man is now smelling bullshit - and its coming from No10 - expect an appropriate and forthright response.

Great people, lots of grafters.

Rayleigh? Know it well, lovely. Full of ex-Londoners who are pissed off with the way the gummint has allowed the capital to become a multi-culti hell-hole.; 11:44 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.
