No, even more reason for it not to be announced at a PPC.

I'm particularly worried about the Chinese at the moment. Particularly their cash strapped government.

So I shall create a letter recommending a £2k discount on all big tellies that cost at least £3k.

In order to fund it - the over generous UK state pension can be reduced and / or deferred until we are 80
