I'm begining to think Brown is safe

The thing about a coup is its all about confidence.

The man with the briefcase has been sent in, confused reports have come out and some people have attempted to rebel. But those sitting on the fence have paused, wondered which way the wind is really blowing and decided to sit on their hands.

The net result will be the plotters being strung up rather than the Fuhrer.

The battle will be on now till the general election and Labour will be lead by one of the most nakedly political and shameless of Prime Ministers.

The next two years are going to rough, especially on our country.

{IMHO - could be 100% wrong on this, but I get the feeling the plot has lost critical momentum.}

PS Last few hours to vote in on the right - I voted for him surviving.

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
