The Nimrod mystery deepens

The govt is about to cut up the new Nimrods. You have to wonder why ?

Surely the logical thing would have been storage ?

All the jigs were smashed up (although nobody later would own up to giving the order) Our political masters (whoever they may be) are obviously as keen for Nimrod to be annihilated as they were for TSR2. Perhaps though this time we can find out who authorised the vandalism.; 7:05 pm

A series of satellites have been launched recently, would not be at all surprised if world wide coverage were achievable and co-operation and funding was shared by various militaries.

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
