“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.

It's not a case of wanting to stop it, is it?
I don't know how in charge Brown really is any more. He strikes me as confused these days.
Certainly the First Secretary Peter Mandelson wants the EU to run things.
Alistair Darling does have some power over Brown (and even Mandy) in that his resignation would have reverberations. The public is likely to support Darling's stance.
Still, we've seen how Labour's "red lines" are crossed behind closed doors, so I'd take any assurances from Darling (and any member of this mendacious government) with a pinch of salt.
Frankfurt has been keen to get is hands on the City for ages. If Darling lets it go, this country is finished. Precious few industries to speak of, laws dictated by Brussels, loss of power over finances and taxation.
How depressing that the government have tampered with the treason laws. I'd like to see heads roll.
@Fausty - I'm beginning to think along traitorous minister swinging from lap posts lines these days.
Democracy just doesn't function when one side just lies with every breath and has the BBC to support them.
