Here it begins.
What is past is but merely prologue to the army of misplaced green eye that is about to descend like a putrid vat of boiling, socialist bile upon the hapless heads of millions of utterly beseiged taxpayers.
The danger of a self-proclaimed 3rd term mandate threatens to usher in not just fiscal terror but even more legislation to effectively see of the last, flickering ember of Albionic entrepeneurialism.

Gordon has overseen massive inflation. In the cost of houses. So now people can't afford to buy anywhere to live. And what spin does he put on this disaster? He calls it the greatest increase in personal wealth. Tosser.
Whilst at the same time removing housing costs from the RPI so he can say that inflation is low and unemployment is low, arent we great.
Meanwhile Keynes is busily spinning...
Its upsetting that we have a government that appears to be based more on marketing than substance and its even more upsetting that the good British public are thick enough to fall for it...

Gordon needs £11 billion and I reckon most of it's going to come from business.
Have you had your new rates assessment yet DeR? I'm getting ready to go into battle over mine.
Rates are the least of my worries, Guv.
Of far more pressing concern exists the rather more fundamental issue of who, in matters of private enterprise, is working for who, these days?
Whether it's instant dismissal for blatent pyromania or the seemingly minor prospect of Chewit paucity in the vending machine, the small-medium sized business owner's arse is commonly to be found sizing up the delights of a tribunal or payout for one salacious grub or another.
Increasingly ~ and I'm not exaggerating here ~ it's proving borderline impossible to do anything creative anymore without a feasibilty study: in order to assess whether a recently required, minor expansion of 'us car park' (to borrow from the ancient Heckmondwikian) would be passed by the local commissar of planning expeditions, we first had to pay a quango of scruffy oinks to correlate to what extent this minor act of development might offend the homo-erotic fantasies of Chief Buthelezi's 3rd cousin (removed).
The planning app was granted, albeit with firm provision for marauding zulu: along the edge of the warehouse perimeter, where formally scum repellant of Third Reichian proportions existed, we now have gently rolling landscapery, including small hillocks and a tiny stream which will not leave any footprints from which Boar trackers might otherwise alert reinforcements.
Mad (as in howling)? You will be...
Good tigh!
I wish I could work out how to get that bar chart in the link on to this post but I can't so please have a quick peek if you think you'll need to.
The background:-
National economic cycles are long term things.
Say everyone is happy for the gov't to raise tax by 2% today, the first real effects of this increase will not be felt for 12mths and even then the money will take at least another year before it returns back into the system in the form of paying the suppliers, builders, nurses, etc, etc, involved in the new hospitals, say, that the 2% increase bought.
Same with anything else to do with the economy it is years before the full effect of any change can be felt.
So back to the bar chart.
Anyone notice that everything was looking fine for the first few years after 1997, whilst the original Tory instigated economic cycle was being played out. Then the borrowing started, and got more, and more. By 2000 remember that Taxation, by stealth, was increased more and more to try to restore the balance without having to resort to either obvious open increases in taxation, i.e. 24% Income Tax, or an egg on face moment when the gov't had to reveal the massive PSBR.
Labour is exactly what it has always been, the party who will tax you to provide the services it thinks you should have and makes you think are vital to your existance.
One of the many concerns that I have if the Conservatives do not get elected this time round is that by the next time it will be too late. We will be in such deep do do that it will take 10 years or more to turn things back to a proper free market economy with sensible taxation, rather than the shadow of one which we now have where the only invisible hand is that of the government's thinly veiled attempts to exert state control on 'private' companies.

Im sick of this shite.
Id for one would love to have a "guy fawkes" moment with these pricks.
Politicians, they all have the following things in common:
Theyre all lying-self interested-two faced-freeloading-meddling-self righteous-sanctimonious-interfering-theiving-gobshites who would most likely sell their newborns to a pedophile if it meant theyd get voted in.
Thats the short description of them, the long one may well take some years to write in full.
A pox on them all and arms way too short to scratch!
Wankers!
