So what of US justice ?

Can we expect the same treatment of this company as BP has unjustly suffered in the US ? http://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/Article/3236295/Latest-News/Halliburton-destroyed-Deepwater-Horizon-evidence.html

( On my hold right now - but thought this one deserved comment ).

The Union Carbide destruction of Bophal is still ongoing, with no admittance of responsibility by the American company, as is the destruction of part of the Amazon basin by American companies. To suggest that the USA is very selective in its responsibilities is putting it mildly. A country of crooks run by the biggest crooks of all - they put the Houses of Parliament to shame in their criminal activities.

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
