It's not true because i say it's not

That just about sums up the pathetic response by that ridiculous family, rightly they have been challenged by MUST this morning to supply the evidence to show MUST where they were wrong. The silence will be deafening.

I am not one for watching the main news bulletins on the TV, newsnight and channel 4 news are the only news that i watch really, and this is one of the reasons why,

of course the reason the tabloids go big on this is because it helps them sell more papers, hence more profit, but i don't know the reason for the main news bulletins stooping so low.

Disaster capitalism part 2

scary article, i don't buy into her arguments totally though, apparently there must be a piece in the book about the Chinese rush to embrace capitalism, and this writer thinks she is well off the mark in her interpretation of events of tianamen square and after,

I would have to agree with one of the comments on that piece ridiculing the idea that the Falklands war was fought with the idea of using the victory to embrace the disaster capitalism theory. To my mind the real right wing, free market, privatisation agenda didn't really get going until her last couple of years in office, and then the six years of john major. All that went before was a softening up period getting the nation ready for such ideas. If she had really had tried to do the things that happened from 1988 onwards in 1983 the Tories would have got rid of her before the country would have got the chance to, as the country was nowhere near ready for any of that.

" liquidity " just a posh way of saying give me a hand out

Great line, it all sounds convincing to me, but i agree that only a full blown recession will make people see that the way the world is being run is all wrong and should be changed so that it works for all of, us not just those with more money than sense. Sense that is of a common good as opposed to a sense of how to make even more money and pay even less tax.
