Another example of shamelessness from Labour

It appears that the Labour government has been using public money for propaganda - but hiding its as 'documentaries'. See the Daily Telegraph here.

The have no shame, decency or idea of how an honest government should behave.

Its another example why those shameless careerists need to be turfed out of office. ( I note now that losing their ministerial limousines in the the offing with a reshuffle they are all pledging their loyalty to Von Brown. Gutless, shameless and worse of all useless the lot of them ).

Still trying not to blog till Sept, but they are such a bunch of cowardly, devious, dishonest, shameless, useless bastards that its hard not to make the odd exception.

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.
