Social mobility 'improving in UK'

Who says so - well the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit - odd that. Brown has been stung by such acusations, so he's now generated a report that says he's great (which the UK taxpeyer will have paid to produce for Labour party political ends ).

The BBC article goes on to say it only 'suggests' and whilst we're there there are some quotes around 'improving in the UK'. But we know how this game is played now. It the headline that people read and the New Labour linguistic programming that has the impact - thank's to their friends ( and in many cases future employees ) in the BBC.

Having said this it is stated that NuLabor are cherrypicking items in the report, and the whole report shows some concerning irregularities.
Even the bbc showed itself dubious of such propaganda.; 9:54 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.
