I think it's a disgrace that the mobile phone co's have all that extra money to spend on their infrastructure instead of handing it to boy George to squander on <insert pet subject, from a substantial list, here>. wink

David McWiliams is always worth listening to - I've read a number of his books and watched some of his on-line lectures as well.

However, even he balks and having to make hard decisions. He contemplated running for election in Ireland as an Independent but backed out in the end when he realised he would have to make far too many compromises.
I've posted a few of his articles on various topics here, always worth a listen no matter what he's talking about usually.

surely now is the time to get someone in the job who knows what he is actually trying to achieve?
We need a Govt that is able to make real cuts and real decisions without having to run everything past Simon Hughes first, who invariably says "no". But this is the price we are paying for a coalition. If they stood half a chance of making the coalition work, the first thing they needed to do was bring the BBC to heel. They will never get the real message across when you have a bunch of left wingers running the BBC; your message will be continually lost.

Said it at the time, Cameron should have gone back to the polls when he didn't get a clear majority.

As for George, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. He will go down in history as the worst Chancellor purely because his hands are tied and whatever he eventually does - he will upset someone.
