City Swept by False “PM Resigns” Rumours

Dealing rooms cheered as rumours swept around the Square Mile that Gordon was gone. Downing Street had to issue a denial that the Prime Mentalist had resigned.  Soon Gordon, soon…

          The real Charles Hardwidge stop ripping me off you bounders says:

          So, Cameron and Clegg mouthed off in parliament and the media rumour mill has gone into overdrive? It’s just talk and speculation. They only want backbenchers to wet themselves and start blabbing on media sofas. If people just put the offical line and get back to doing their jobs these vested interests have nothing.

          This is a trick Guido has to learn because he looks like he’s lost control over the past couple of days. He’s writing the headlines the Tories and media want instead of staying focused, developing a coherent theme, and keeping reasonable moderation in gear. The tail is wagging the dog and with something more serious he’d be dead.

        I know that, but £/€ has been improving over the last couple of months.
        And isnt it obvious that Brown’s going sooner or later.

        I had wondered whether that was because they thought more rounds of quantitative easing were becoming less likely with more pressure on Brown.

      FTSE didn’t really move, pound dropped 1.5% to both the US dollar and the Euro, although it has recovered a third of that in the last 20 minutes though.

      As Guido says, the markets hate uncertainty, the first reaction to any unexpected news will almost always be a drop, then a recovery or a gain as the news is digested appropriately.

        Tin Cunliffe says:

        and yet the recovery disappeared.
        It all looks like guesswork to me. So here’s mine…

        86p/€ was overvaluing the pound. Traders might have suspected that and so at the bad news they got jumpy. Then they thought about it (and thought “not that bad really”) and thought about it some more (“actually its worse”).

        I’d still rather put a quid on Bono.

      Dr Feelgood says:

      I think the reason the pound dropped is because a new administration would have to have a very rapid emergency budget to try and stabilise the economy.

      Opening the books and getting 12 years of dodgy financing deals, and desperate roll the printing presses tactics exposed, is unlikely to improve the current market perception. It will at least get the truth out and provide a starting point for recovery grounded in a realistic appraisal of our circumstances.

      Only yesterday policy Exchange stated we need an immediate £50bn cut in government borrowing to avoid a sovereign debt crisis. Most of the increases in Govt. spending are NOT to fund the recession, but to fund public sector cost and debt interest increases.

        Considering that the average sick leave taken in the probation service last year was 27 days (yes – 27 days!!!!) there is quite a lot of fat to be cut from public services without causing any reduced levels of service. In fact, service provision might even improve.

        Mr Ned says:

        Three weeks? Has he ever been that quick?

        It took the BBC four years to respond to why it reported that WTC 7 had collapsed (and how and why it collapsed) a full 24 minutes before it actually did collapse.

        their four year late response first was denial, until the clip was posted all over youtube, then it was to lie and then it was put down to fast moving events.

        They still have not said WHERE or WHOM they received that information from on that day.

        This information was reported without caveat or warning that it was even unconfirmed. Indeed in the very same part of the news broadcast, the same journalist reported that an emergency treatment camp had been set up for injured police and fire crews, but that had yet to be confirmed.

        I would not have minded, but the bloody building was STILL VISIBLY STANDING IN THE FRAME BEHIND THE JOURNALISTS HEAD!

        The BBC needs to be scrapped. It is full of Common Purpose communists and enemies of the state, it is infected with all sorts of extremist PC bullshit and has become a propaganda outlet for the obscene and unscientific religion of human-induced climate change. You know, that same cult that wants to kill over a billion humans to protect the same planet that has existed for four billion years before we came along. They believe that the climate should be in some sort of stasis and and worry that we could be causing change….

        The default state of the climate always was and always will be a state of change, climate change is NORMAL. It is those cultish freaks that claim that there should be stasis and then they have the cheek to label followers of the real and observable empirical evidence (instead of the false and flawed theories backed by inadequate and flawed computer models) “climate change deniers”!!!

        Honestly, Hitler started a war that led to the deaths of 50 million people and was rightly branded a monster.

        Climate alarmists want to kill Billions of us and are given the Nobel Peace Prize.

        It’s fucking insane!

          Two conspiracy theories nicely placed together.

          I agree with you on one thing.

        • 149
          Mr Ned says:

          I am not into wild and unprovable conspiracy theories. I only go on what can be proven and is solid and knowable.

          An independent, scientific, peer reviewed paper shows categorically that “nano-thermite” was used. How did it get there, and WHO placed it there.

          Nano thermite was not used by people in a cave in Afghanistan…

          Neither did people in a cave in Afghanistan get the entire US air defence system to ignore the hijacked flights.

          It was not people in a cave in Afghanistan that ran the drills on 9/11 that had bogus hijackings on Defence radar screens and actual flight hijackings as drills on the same day as 9/11 with most of the eastern air defence system out of the way over Alaska running drills simulating attacks by the (then) friendly Russian Federation.

          Who was co-ordinating those drills? Dick Cheney.

          Note it was not guys in caves hired, trained, armed and funded originally by the ISI on behalf of the CIA. The same CIA that was still arming and training and funding them in 2000 to fight the Serbians in the Balkans.

          What happened to the officer who was in charge of NORAD on the day that they had the greatest fuck up in America’s defence in their history? He was immediately PROMOTED to head of joint chiefs.

          What happened to the evidence in the radio tapes from the air traffic controller? It was cut into pieces, placed in separate bins and disposed of.

          What happened to that operator who broke federal law by disposing of evidence of a crime? NOTHING.

          Well, the entire crime scene in New York was cleared away without any official forensic investigation into what caused the only collapse of steel framed skyscrapers in history, before or since.

          There are many unanswered questions and lies (from ALL sides) about 9/11. There are loads of ridiculous conspiracy theories that do not help us get to the truth of what has caused the last 8 years of hatred and wars and deaths and torture and restricted liberties in response to 9/11.

          One of the least convincing and most easily debunked conspiracies is the OFFICIAL narrative of the conspiracy that does not even come close to explaining all the inconsistencies of what happened that day.

          We need a new REAL INDEPENDENT OPEN INVESTIGATION into 9/11

They even left the hats and coats, and desk photos and pens in exactly the same place. they took photos before they started see.
          They did a floor a night . it took 6 months. No one noticed a thing. not maintenance, not security,not transport, not the port authority, not the fire dept. not CCTV, not the workers.. No one.

          you forgot one major player..

          Mandelson was born in London in 1953, where his father was the advertising manager at The Jewish Chronicle. On his mother’s side, he is the grandson of Herbert Morrison, the London County Council leader and Labour cabinet minister.

          He was educated at Hendon County Grammar School. In his youth, he briefly rebelled against his family’s Labour tradition due to Labour’s support of the United States in the Vietnam War and in 1971 left the Labour Party Young Socialists (LPYS) to join the Young Communist League, then the youth wing of the Communist Party of Great Britain. This move was partly a result of disagreements with the Trotskyist Militant tendency that had just won a majority in the LPYS nationally.

          He read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St Catherine’s College, Oxford University (1973-1976) and, after returning to the Labour Party, became director of the British Youth Council in the late 1970s. As BYC director, he was a delegate in 1978 to the Soviet-organised World Festival of Youth and Students in Havana, Cuba, with Arthur Scargill and several future Labour cabinet colleagues.[9][10] He was elected to Lambeth Borough Council in September 1979, but retired in 1982, disillusioned with the state of Labour politics.

          The rest of the world (except North Korea) has already been given to the international banks in collateral for loans from the central bankers. So the only places left to conquer are some Islamic countries and North Korea.

          Is it a coincidence that the only countries in the world that did not have a central bank, or an invading western army in them, were the same countries listed by Bush as the Axis of Evil?

        BBC would dearly love there to be such a thing as “The Muslim World”. That way they will know who is in charge and to whom they can turn to be told what to say/write.

        They love concepts like “The Arab Street”, which broadly means the opinion of the man – and it is always a man – who has the largest militia/arsenal and who is the most brutal repressive of anything remotely resembling individual opinion.

        And that’s because the BBC is a collectivists/socialist organisation. It has an editorial position and anything which doesn’t agree with it, must be wrong. It likes those nice men who chop off peoples hands for stealing and regard women as second class citizens, because they have created a world where everybody agrees with everything, so no conflict at all, how lovely!

          That could explain why they supported and dutifully reported Labour’s lies about WMD as established fact. Getting rid of Saddam allowed the Islamic fundamentalists to take over Iraq and suppress their women.

          Women had rights under Saddam. They could dress how they liked, become educated, work in any industry and were in the Government.

        Hmmm there’a a precedent here… Spencer Percival was shot by a .50 cal pistol

        “In 1812 Bellingham again went to work in London, where he renewed his attempts to win compensation. On April 18 he went in person to the offices of the Foreign Office where a civil servant called Hill told him he was at liberty to take whatever measures he thought proper. Bellingham had already started preparations for resolving the matter in another way, and on April 20 he bought two half-inch calibre (12.7 mm) pistols from W. Beckwith, gunsmith of 58 Skinner Street. He also arranged with a tailor to have a secret inside pocket put on his coat. Around this time, he was often seen in the lobby of the House of Commons.
        After taking the family of a friend to see a water-colour painting exhibition on May 11, 1812, Bellingham casually remarked that he had some business to attend to, and made his way to Parliament. He waited in the lobby until the Prime Minister, Spencer Perceval appeared, then stepped forward and shot him through the heart. Bellingham then calmly sat on a bench. He was immediately detained by those present and identified by Isaac Gascoyne, MP for Liverpool.”

          Unlike McBrown, Alan Sugar came from very working class background and made his fortune for himself, whilst employing hundreds of other people in productive jobs and paying loads of taxes. He is entitled to be a prat in his views, and to spend his money how he chooses, because it is HIS MONEY not stolen from taxpayers.

    Robert Peston | 09:39 AM, Thursday, 4 June 2009

    There’s been a bit of fuss about a decision by the government to suspend interest payments on £325m of its liabilities – which to some looks like the state defaulting on its debts.

    But don’t panic.

    This isn’t the Treasury announcing that it can’t afford to keep up the payments on its great mountain of new borrowing, which grows ever-larger as tax revenues dwindle and social security payments escalate.

    This isn’t a declaration that the state is bust.

    No. What’s happened is that Bradford & Bingley, the nationalised mortgage bank, has stopped paying interest on £275m of subordinated notes and £50m of perpetual subordinated bonds.

    Interesting little fact at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8082897.stm

    British MEPs have an 85.8% attendance record. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it? But consider this. How many of us back in the real world would keep our jobs with an 85.8% attendance record?

    When he goes it will happen very, very quickly.
    He has made lots of enemies on the way up with his (and his sidekick’s) ad hominem attacks against any opponent. This is why there was no election when he replaced Bliar, nobody dared.
    But as soon as people see that he is mortally wounded they will all want to get their revenge in. So the situation will rapidly cascade.

    Hazel proved that his authority is pretty low. The local election results will probably push him over the edge. Also I wouldn’t exactly call him sane so a breakdown could become a part of the mix.

    Also Labour MPs can see that nearly all of them will soon be out of a job. A new, less odious, leader with a general election in the honeymoon period may be able to prevent the labour party imploding and disappearing.

    PM to sack Flint amid fears she will quit
    Paul Waugh and Nicholas Cecil
    04.06.09

    GORDON BROWN was urged to sack Europe Minister Caroline Flint today as Government loyalists moved to head off a leadership plot.

    One minister told the Evening Standard it was time for the Prime Minister to remove Ms Flint amid claims that she held detailed talks with Hazel Blears just hours before the Communities Secretary resigned. Ms Flint is being watched like a hawk by party whips amid fears she will be the next Blairite minister to quit.

          Nobody outside of his constituency voted for Blair, upon which he became a Member of Parliament.
          We have a P a r l i a m e n t a r y system.
          It has two chambers the House of Commons, which is elected and the House of Lords which is largely appointed and so unelected.
          The Members of Parliament in the House of Commons elected the Prime Minister. If they so wish the MPs can vote to remove him.
          We don’t have a President, we have a Monarch.
          As an illustration of the difference, virtually all of the US Presidents’ ministers (secretaries of state) are unelected. Whereas the vast majority of UK ministers are MPs and so are elected.

          Having lived in Thailand during several coups d’etat, order in that country is certainly maintained only by the existence of the monarchy and the common sense of the military. Recent events there hardly demonstrate the success of the Thai political system, the degeneration of which has decimated its biggest economic sector. My sister is a Thai citizen and has never been fined (modestly or otherwise) for not voting, by the way.

          Actually, the criticality of the involvement of the military (domestic or otherwise) in maintaining order is common to many of the contries (the South and Central American basket cases in particular) that Baiter seems to aspire to emulate.

          Cypriot elections only cover 2/3 of the island, in case you had forgotten. The rest of the island takes its chances with Turkey’s version of secularism (despite having an Islamist president, the country still attract the bombs of Muslim terrorists – not everyone seems to be happy with the results of the elections!)

          Singapore is a virtual police state, and anyone who has been there will know that the penal system extends somewhat beyond mere “modest fines”.

          Nauru is a tiny excavated lump of bankrupt bird-shit, chosen only by asylum seekers.

    I’ve now had three people claiming that a couple of top resignations are due to be announced either later this afternoon or after voting has closed. Either way the news will be out before midnight.

    Can’t rally see where Brown goes now, even his close supporters will be thinking about their own future, the only incentive seems to be Gordons gift of an immediate elevation to the Upper House. No one in their right mind would want to be prime minister for the next session or even during the interim period running up to the General Election.

    The next wave of excitement is the Swine Flu Pandemic set to hit the UK, according to a statement issued by the World Health Organisation yesterday (as a full blown pandemic in October) this time its serious people in increasing numbers will die.

    Better to get the Election out the way and Cameron installed, the pandemic then hits and blows Camerons recovery strategy out of the water… Brown says I told you so… voting intention then swings behind Labour (with new Leader) and they back in for another 10 years, all very neat.

            By sidestepping Cameron’s soundbites and sloganised emotionalism one can get inside his thoughts and under his guard. Here, one can paint almost any narrative one wishes and cause Cameron to explode from the inside out. He’s already shown himself to be too keen on going for the easy target or nastily putting anyone down that doesn’t kiss his ass. That’s enough to suggest a direction for other people to explore.

      All the same it is a serious issue, given the problem that has been experienced with the abuse of the postal voting system.My understanding is that that box in which we post the ballot paper is locked and the key to it and all the other boxes is held by the electoral officer at the counting station.

      The tellers at the voting stations should not be able to access the votes , as this means the votes could be tampered with. I have now found a little bit on the web elsewhere to suggest that this problem is being encountered in other places around the country.

      There therefore could be, in some places, significant abuse of votes cast.

        “Dr Gordon Brown

        The new Labour member for Dunfermline East, Dr Gordon Brown, is typical of the brand of mediocre, middle-class careerists who make up an increasing proportion of the undistinguished lobby-fodder and whom Labour habitually returns from Scotland, though he has greater academic pretensions than most.

        Brown shot to provincial fame on being elected as Edinburgh University’s first student Rector in the late 1960s and ever since his ambition has outstripped his ability. Although, in a tribute, his old history tutor Dr Paul Addison has stated that Brown was “always more than a swot”, it appears that he lacked certain essential social graces. He never fully recovered from his rejection as suitor by the lovely Princess Marguerita of Romania (who works as a computer programmer in the University’s Computer Department) and ever since has devoted himself obsessively to his political career.

        Before becoming Labour’s Scottish Chairman (a meaningless appointment made on the “Buggins’ Turn” principle) Brown worked on a series of current affairs documentaries for Scottish TV which were so excruciatingly dull that he was mercifully taken off the air (he has two brothers in the Scots media).

        Once again he has been exceeding his limitations in his new role as a Scots lackey in the outer limits of Kinnock’s kitchen cabinet. A recent Sunday Times article which he had ghosted for the new labour leader had to be withdrawn as “hopeless” by Kinnock’s press officer, Patricia “Harpie” Hewitt.

        In June, Brown will enjoy a three-week CIA freebie trip to the USA (he will get $60 a day pocket money while out there.) Kinnock felt obliged to approve this unfashionable hostage to fortune because he himself had been on a similar trip some years ago.”

        Go on, treat yourself to a laugh.

    It is no wonder most of the electorate will vote for none of the main parties they just do not get it or even understand how angry we are. Moreover Brown will get it worse because he has had 12 years to get it sorted and one might argue the change in the rules in 2004 made the rule bending even more possible. It is clear there is one rule for the Government and another rule for the rest of the electorate. My vote today was to demonstrate this and my vote at a GE would be different my lasting hope is that enough people did the same to push the point home to this thick skinned lot of troughers.

    Cameron loves being the swaggering hero but behind the mask he’s about as dumb and sensitive as it gets. I’ve had the suspicion that all those accusations of arrogance, nastiness, and dithering he likes to chuck around are just him projecting his own faults and insecurities.

    Some people are calling this class envy and an ad hominem attack but that’s just cliche and cheap shot. It’s clear that Cameron’s intellectual foundations are built on insanity. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s also quick to be nasty and doesn’t like it if someone undermines his image. This is a matter of basic competence, teamwork, and ability to go the distance. What you do and who you are matters. I don’t want some over-promoted deadwood middle manager running the country, tah.

    Cameron’s basic claim to leadership is just a collection of carefully arranged buzzwords and stroking. He beat his way to the front of the queue and relies on a constant media presence and uncritical media to keep that position. He bolsters that by continuously making bold and positive claims about himself and briefing like mad behind the scenes. It’s pure marketing that hides the fact he has no product and covers up the long-tail of unreformed Tory MPs: turbo-Thatcherism with added bounce.

    Every vote will count in the elections on Thursday 4 June. Why? Because Labour stands up for the hard-working British people – not just to help people now but to plan for recovery, renew our society , and reform our government for the future.

    Labour is working to win the fight for Britain’s future.

    David Cameron’s Conservatives remain firmly rooted to doing nothing. They have set themselves against providing real help now for families and businesses.

    The Tories would make Britain weaker not stronger for the future.

    The choice is clear. Vote Labour Thursday 4 June.

        “Now we hear that behind the scenes they are planning school funding cuts of over 10% which could see almost 45,000 teachers laid off. Voters face a clear choice – between Labour investment in education and cuts at the worst possible time.

        “Jim Knight and I have written to Michael Gove five times asking him to explain what the Tories would do. It’s now time for Michael Gove to respond to my letters and come clean about what Tory cuts to education would really mean.”

        * Waiting lists are down by 614,000 since 1997. Most patients are now waiting less than 13 weeks, and by the end of this year nobody will wait more than 18 weeks for treatment.
        * Over 99% of suspected cancer patients are seen by a specialist within two weeks of being referred by their GP, and over 99% of cancer patients start their treatment within a month of diagnosis.
        * Over 38,000 more doctors and 80,000 more nurses since Labour came to power.
        * Investment in the NHS has trebled since 1997.
        * Labour has built over 90 new NHS walk-in centres and over 650 one-stop primary care centres, and is investing £750 million in a new generation of modern, convenient community hospitals.
        * Cancer mortality rates in under-75s have decreased by 17.1 per cent since 1996, saving nearly 9,000 lives in 2006 compared to 1996. We are saving 31,000 lives from cardiovascular diseases every year compared to 1996.

          The modern NHS is great, thanks to your labour government! We plebs are ever so grateful! Especially those of us whom have only needed to visit hospital once or twice in the past year. First time, for me, on an overnight stay, I was treated to the sight of a ward sister slapping an alzheimer’s patient across the legs. Poor chap didn’t realise what had happened, but the witnesses did, of course.

          Second time, I was treated in some sort of happy camper’s caravan -for an MRI scan for pity’s sake – seemingly in the middle of nowhere -but I imagine the parent hospital was *somewhere* nearby. I guess others have to endure this as well, daily. How fortunate we are, thanks to our dear leader and his fine up-standing cabinet.

          * Last year over 40,000 offenders entered education, training or employment; we have almost trebled spending on offender learning since 2001; and we have increased investment in drug treatment in prisons by 1,008 per cent since 1996/7.

      Q. Given the population of LA was around 8 million at the time, around how many inhabitants’ DNA would have matched the sample picked up at the scene of Nicole Brown’s murder?

      A. 80.

      Given the UK population, this means that a defendant in a crime with no motive, alibi, witness, other scientific evidence, may well be just the first guy of a thousand possibles that came up on plod’s computer.

      This notwithstanding the obvious facts that state does not have the right to know more about you than you know about yourself: whether you were brought up by your real father; whether you are going to pass a hereditary disease to your kids etc.

      Having DNA in store gives the police the ability to frame somebody with ease, and very convincingly because courts and solicitors are not trained to examine closely how samples are handled.

      A police force that allows officers to cover their numbers so that they can assault the public and get away with it cannot be trusted with a DNA database.

      There is nothing more tragicomical than the public having the duty to stop the police from breaking the law at future demonstrations.

    The Labour Party is the true Libertarian party.

    Capitalism isn’t about the free market it’s about control which helps explain why the Tory party being so keen on it isn’t a surprise. “There is no alternative” and “free market” seems like an oxymoron to me. Of course, these great dunces in the Financial Times are looking at the presentation not the substance so confuse their little heads, completely bypass Communism by default, and miss the real underlying market.

    “All things arise from Tao. They are nourished by Virtue. They are formed from matter. They are shaped by environment. Thus the ten thousand things all respect Tao and honour Virtue. Respect of Tao and honour of Virtue are not demanded. But they are in the nature of things. Therefore all things arise from Tao. By Virtue they are nourished, developed, cared for, sheltered, comforted, grown and protected. Creating without claiming; doing without taking credit; guiding without interfering – this is Primal Virtue.”

      You have fallen for the Brownian idea of success, that is announcing things and particularly announcing the spending of other people’s mone. There is no correlation bvetween high-spending in education and high-achievement (in fact, almost the opposite is true), and the fact that spending on the NHS (it’s not “investment”- it is just spending) has trebled is nothing to boast about. In fact it points to massive waste. Taxpayers know this and will not stand for it – their only problem is that non-taxpayers and the public-payroll voters are swamping the productive side of the economy.

    And Cibvil Service pay awards need to be measured against productivity (eg “sickie days”) pertinent to other sectors.
    We either pay the tax or reduce our expenses to manage our massive debts.
    Here’s a starter for 10…..

Bins unemptied, bodies unburied, yes folks, it’s the 1970s all over again. Except the beer and sandwiches have been replaced by lavish dinners and piss ups in posh hotels.

        Rule #1 in Management “Authority & Responsibility always go together”
        Its a very simple and very important test.
        Nobody ought to take formal responsibility if they don’t have authority to implement it or change it.
        The social work management and social worker need to look who had what.
        In any case, much like the position with the FSA, why are we paying anything for something that isn’t fit for purpose ?

    Only Gordon Brown had the experience needed to make the long-term decisions that will deliver real help now for hard-working families.

If he were to go there are so many talented people in the Cabinet who could take his place, it really would be difficult to choose.

    In the real world, I doubt you would have the guts to walk into a pub and pick fights with the locals so why do you insist on doing it here? Because you’re a gutless genital wart of a man.

    Put another 50p in your pre-pay electric meter and cook yourself a Findus Crispy Pancake. And then stick it up your arse. Freak.

    I bet the Canadian PM, Sarkozy and Obama and their advisers are watching the meltdown here with interest – wondering whether they will want to stand on the same podium with him.

    The British and Canadian Vets are doing the same – why would they want to salute him ??- although at least now they have Prince Charles as well. Pity it’s not the Queen. She would have rescued this fiasco.

      The British and Canadian Vets will want to consider whether they want to salute him.

      I’m glad the Vets at least have Charlie to support them. Would have been best if they had her Maj, but I appreciate she needs to be here in case McMental needs to consult her re- dissolution of parliament.

    Sadly, even if Brown is toppled I still think labour will try to tough it out with a new leader for another 12 months. What we need now is a GE!!

      That would not be acceptable. The government looks unaccountable enough as it is, and that would effectively finish them off. We, the electorate, will not stand for that. They think they have the right to do as they please without consulting us, and make us pay for their non-existent mortgages and dry rot while they do it.

      An election must be called if Gordon goes. To attempt to go on without one is unthinkable.

    Boulton has just described Purnell as ‘a man of principle and a future leader of the Labour Party’. The reincarnation of Gordon before his death.

    Sick of Politicians says:

    Purnell’s ruled himself out of a leadership election though. That’s interesting. He knows the game is up, and that Labour have lost whoever becomes leader. Clearly he is waiting to make a move after the general election – as are probably most of the leading “next generation” candidates.

    No point in taking over now, anyway. Plus, they can’t wait until next year if Gordon goes now – they’ll need to call an election as soon as they have a successor.

    And then proceeded to panic-sell Sterling, demonstrating their full confidence in next Prime Minister David Cameron’s economic policies.

    On the news that the rumour was wrong, the dealing rooms then decided they wanted to hold Sterling and keep their money in the British economy after all, given the rubbish economic policies of Gordon Brown.

    Hmm.

    How can you know that Cameron is going to implode? Or is this another one of your airy-fairy predictions?

    As far as exploring orther directions goes, perhaps we should think about emigrating. For the moment though, far better to put one’s energy into the beginning of the end of this government at the local polling station.

    For the hard of thinking, if Guido is a libertarian that doesn’t mean he has to let anyone do whatever they want on/with his website. If he’s a libertarian that doesn’t mean he has to let you into his house and let you help yourself to his booze either.

    What it means is that he opposes state interference in people’s affairs and supports the idea that the state should be small and as far as practically possible people should be free to do what they want.

    Now if you don’t like this website, take a full refund and fuck off somewhere else. Trolls.
