You'll have to do better than that Dave ...

The emerging omnishambles at Number 10 is getting two responses.

Its everyone else's fault ( especially those who didn't go to Eton, organise summer balls at Oxford, or live in Nottinghill / Chipping Norton ), everyone else needs to get a grip and realise how what's happening isn't and if it is it doesn't matter. ( This line is being pushed by a number of promotion desperate MPs hoping to trade integrity for career advancement. )
Lets offer some cheap compromises/ headline grabbing policies and even make a few mistakes that we can then easily rectify to show we listen.

Unfortunately for centre right politics in the UK there is no chance of the real situation being recognised.

Number 10 continues to make enemies out of its natural allies with things like destroying marriage.

Ed Miliband might well be prime minister in 2015, and the Conservative party needs to understand it has no perpetual franchise on support from conservtaive people.

Neat summary of EU and UK current policies; the MSM could save a lot of paper and energy by just saying this once a day (maybe twice for the BBC and Guardian, otherwise they'll suffer withdrawl symptoms).; 5:35 pm

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.
