Is the end near ?

This blog has been fuelled by its nemesis - Gordon Brown.

As it now looks unlikely he can't survive the next week, I'm now starting to wonder about the blog also.

Any candidates for the position of new Man in a Shed Nemesis ? Or perhaps it will be time to call time.

How about wondering how we're going to be able to use the internet when the electricity gets rationed because there aren't enough power stations - and look back to see who stopped the building programme. Same with road building.

And then there's the nightmare of PFI and short leases.; 12:49 am

I have no doubt that the Tories will start to squeeze England unfairly within a couple of weeks.

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
