Man in a Shed: Junckered - but who being fooled ?

Junckered - but who being fooled ?

So at one level - we have #CastIronDave making a charge of the light brigade quixotic gesture to stop Mr Juncker being confirmed as the President of the European commission.

Clearly CCHQ is hoping that Eurosceptics will admire how robust and forth right David Cameron is for the UK's interests when he has no hope of achieving those ends ( and so isn't risking dmagaging the European Union one bit. )

Its clearly the Conservative party line as other cabinet ministers have been spouting off about it.

Behind the scenes the Conservtive party is dong all it can to spike UKIP's guns. In the EU this has included collaborating with the AfD and other parties that are logically close allies of UKIP - solely to try to make UKIP's position more difficult.

They are campaigning in seats that UKIP might target ( see here https://www.facebook.com/events/1434257806839640/ ) rather than against Labour.

People who know Cameron, like the Polish Prime minister, assume he's just faking the Eurospectic line to cut off the oxygen from the genuine Eurosceptics.

Personally I thinnk Dave has form on this and its the most likely explaination of his rather odd behaviour. Its all to fool Euroscpetic votes again ...

Are you ready to be fooled again, or will you be voting UKIP ?

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.
