Billy, it is clear that you do not live in the real world. If you did, you would not have time to spend all day waiting for new posts on this website so that you could comment first. Tarquin may live in another world from you, but I doubt his world is as sad as yours.
Whilst I will uphold your right to say what you like you should Go fuck yourself
It is customary to address one’s remarks to the person intended. Since you have stated that your remark is to Billy, you will see, under his name, a link called Reply. That is what you should have pressed.
He has the right to post a reply where ever he licks, and I will defend that right

Of course it might not be a she, it could be a he or a trans or a cis…
Apparently, “tranny” is now an offensive term, and “transphobia” means “doesn’t like weird fuckers that want to be other than they are”.
I learned this from reading the Indy, and must admit to not giving a flying fuck what trannies are upset about.
deviantphobia seems sensible to me too.
I’ve never actually met anyone who admits to having read the Indy.
It was by accident – they were right out of the Morning Star.
Not entirely sure I understand. Are you saying he/they shouldn’t have use of/own laptops to protest? I genuinely hope not, otherwise I’ve seriously overestimated you.
whooshhhhh
Bunch of C8nts with rich parents perhaps??
Regardless of the reality that being able to afford a laptop is hardly evidence of rich parents, are you saying that children of rich parents, or even just rich folk, shouldn’t be allowed to protest?
see 12
Thanks AC1, interesting reading, but I’m still curious to know if folks genuinely believe that just by having some money means someone has less of a voice?
Many kids fortunate enough to be born into affluent families benefit from private schools/education, maybe some of those kids have grown up and are now reading/commenting on this blog; we certainly know some of them are presently running our country. Are you saying that they didn’t have valid opinions when they were that age simply because they were born into money?
They’re hypocrites- benefitting from a private education, rich parents and the capitalist system while protesting against others enjoying the same.
There was no ‘reply’ button beneath the Comprehensive educated pleb who can’t afford an expensive laptop, so I’ll have to use this one.
Dear Comprehensive educated pleb who can’t afford an expensive laptop, you call protestors with money hypocrites, yet you seem to genuinely believe that it’s okay to decide what a complete stranger can or can’t be passionate about? That’s a very scary belief system you’ve got there.
What’s so wrong with benefiting from capitalism yet feeling strongly about the growing divide in this country? I’m reasonably well off, but feel sickened by the staggering amount of money diverted from this country in unpaid tax. I spent much of this year being hounded for an unpaid tax bill of £1950. My solicitor estimated the whole affair cost around £65k before it was established they were in error. Throughout the entire process I was bullied, threatened, and made to feel like a criminal. Throughout the entire process details were constantly being revealed in the media about yet another huge company being let off paying *what they owe*. Using your belief system, am I wrong to feel that is unjust?
Earlier in the year I made a significant donation to several maternity wards and the RCM who all had funding withdrawn due to cuts. I have no children, can’t stand the little bastards and have no desire to have children, but these amazing people have devoted their lives to ensuring there are new lives brought into this world, yet is seems they are deemed not that important, and all the while another multinational is allowed to get away without paying *what they owe*. I was moved to donate money to try and help these truly wonderful people. Because of my beliefs about children, was that wrong of me? Because I don’t want kids and have no interest in them personally, am I not allowed to be passionate about their cause?
I happily munch on animals. I also have very strong beliefs about animal welfare and believe they should be reared responsibly and slaughtered as humanely as possible. I support several animal welfare awareness groups to this end. Because I eat dead animals, am I not allowed to be passionate about living ones?
That’s a very scary belief system you’ve got there.
I’ve no desire to decide what people are allowed to be passionate about.
I am however allowed to have an opinion about whether people are hypocrites.
And your tale of woe about the inevitable consequences of an unpaid tax bill,your charitable activities and carniverous eating habits are completely irrelevant.
I see you can now afford a new laptop. Hurrah! Congratulations.
I also see that you have problems understanding the written word. Oh dear. (There’s nothing inevitable about being hounded for a phantom tax bill).
It’s clear you have nothing much to actually say on this matter, other than you simply don’t like folk, who you don’t like, doing things that you don’t like. Which is perfectly dandy and delightful. It’s your right to feel passionately about not liking certain types of people, as much as it’s their right to feel passionately about injustice.
And my own belief, while I’m on the subject, is that it’s beyond logical comprehension to genuinely think that because someone comes from an affluent background they have somehow forfeited any right to be passionate about misplaced wealth and unpaid taxes.
It’s. Just. Bonkers.

The best marketing scam in the universe is Apple.
Somehow they managed to make themselves the ‘good’ corporation against Microsoft’s ‘bad’ corporation. They are both megabillion, rapacious, resource hungry corporations.
Yet somehow if you stick an apple on a product it becomes non-capitalist.
Its the Polly Toynbee trick. She’s rich, but she cares ..so she’s somehow allowed to be an honorary pauper.
Maybe this how the predator/not quite so predatory strategy works?
Bad = BP,Starbucks,Vodafone,Top Shop, McDonalds.

Yeah, but don’t knock their cheese and onion pasties! Fond memories of eating those piping hot in the winter lunchtimes back when I woz doing my A-levelses!
Apple is really a terrible corporation compared to Gates’s.
Last year he lowered malaria deaths by 100,000.
Yes, its all rather ironic.

Shiny shit for superficial twats.
In the past month, both Dennis Ritchie (who co-created both Unix and C) and John McCarthy (the discoverer of Lisp) have passed away, but all you hear about is a spoilt twat who clung to Wozniak’s coat tails and made some very average but very fashionable gadgets.
Apple peaked at the IIe – if they’d carried that through to today, we’d have desktop supercomputers and not frigging iMaTwats.
And that’s good? We have no proper wars anymore, or any other form of population control. There’s a lot to be said for malaria.
100,000 more people to grow up uneducated, breed and give birth to yet more charity consumers.
Seems like a good bargain to some…
Actually, in general, the reason Apple is seen as ‘for the people’ and Microsoft is held up as an example of ‘bad capitalism’ has very little to do with logo’s. It’s more to do with whether the expensive product I’ve just bought works properly or not.
Why is this pointless camp getting so much wall to wall media coverage daily.
I’ll bet there are more serious injustices and protests elswhere that are getting zero coverage from the state broadcaster.
All it amounts to is a big DIVERSION away from the commie clusterfuck that is imploding accross the channel.

You do realise you’re just wandering round London like a pillock taking photos of people with MacBooks yes? It’s a pretty weird thing to do. You’re wandering around taking photos of people who you claim are wasting their time. ahem.
You do realise that everybody’s doing it. There are more cameras than placards/truncheons at most demos.
Guido really shouldn’t be encouraging criminals like that. It would be awful if they all got their laptops and iphones nicked.
Naw it’s all right their parents probably took out the Low Cost Student insurance Package when they started uni….guaranteed replacement mobile/lap top in 24 hours…
Guido, I can’t work out whether you really are this dim or if it is just wilful ignorance on your part. Your McCarthyesque characterisation of this protest suggesting that anyone not happy with income inequality / bail out of banks / crony capitalism etc is some sort of communist / marxist really is poor quality hyperbole at best. Is this what your blog is coming to? some sort of online Fox News? really pathetic. Whether it’s you or the morons on CNBC / Fox patronisingly chuckling about protesters using their iphones / laptops etc as hypocrits because they are the products of capitalism really is lowest common denominator, childish rubbish which is so far off the mark to be unbelievable. This is NOT a protest about capitalism per se, by far the majority of protesters believe in and understand that a market based economy is necessary. What the protest is about is crony capitalism or corporatism if you prefer. The co-mingling of corporations and governments, the revolving door between government and private lobbying, the two tier justice system where bankers can lose millions of $ or £ where at most the culprits will pay a fine but not even have to admit legal liability.
A few months ago your blog used to be an interesting and insightful read. Unfortunately since then you seem to have descended in to classic right wing tabloid type smearing and your audience is infinitely worse off as a result.
Guido, i really think you should have a compliants section and a compliants handler.

Is the pub open a 9.30 am, surely some mistake.
Billy wants to do compliants not complaints. He could not do the complaints since he would have to judge complaints about the fact that he is not clocked from this site.

SC – I wouldn’t have thought you were in any (super)position to make a definitive judgement about whether someone was alive!
Audemus Dicere Pater Noster, I have referred before to the fact that the cat can itself be an observer. No one has considered this. And these quantum mechanics guys are supposed to be bright.
I do not claim to be bright myself but I did read Bishop Berkeley. I am not a believer in sky fairies but it did give me a pointer to the fact that there is so often an observer when most people think there is not.
Sed libera nos a malo.

My point to you the other day. Problem is that it is so bloody convincing at first that I cannot tie down where it flies into the air.
That’s my problem with the many worlds view – almost anything becomes plausible. Having said that, Feynman’s path integrals are a sum over all possibilities, so functionally equivalent – but I’m inclined to follow Occam’s razor and discount anything that isn’t strictly necessary to explain the things we see.
Still, it’s only Wednesday, and Saturday’s metaphysics day in the Paragnostic household…

Listen dickhead,if your parents couldnt be arsed to spell your christian name correctly then why exactly should the rest of civilisation have to listen to your mock moral high ground trolling-your argument on wage inequality was taken up by all communist regimes but it also comes with all the other socialist crap like starvation and that is why capitalism wins-you are free to diet,eat or pig-out on whatever food blows your skirt up-any North Korean restaurants round your end Jon????
East India, why is it with all you far right loonies that the only options are crony capitalism or communism? Is your mind really that narrow? If you read my post you will see that I embrace capitalism and a market economy, it’s just that the current incarnation of capitalism has got far out of control. All people are asking for is regulation in the right places and rules which create the right incentives as opposed to mad risk taking where bankers get all the upside but taxpayers get all the losses. That is a type of socialism and not one that I like. If for one second you could stop frothing at the mouth giving extreme examples like North Korea or some starvation induced by collective farms and actually thought for a second, you know, an actual cognitive process taking place in your brain, then you might realise that no one is looking for massive upheaval or change, just some tightening of the rules to ensure a level playing field. Also as I assume East India company isn’t your real name, I can also confirm Jon is not mine, just a pseudonym….
I agree with jon, there is something inherently wrong about a banking system which charges a customer £30 for going a few pounds overdrawn whilst they themselves are millions overdrawn. Bunch of c unts, fuck them I say!
Dear customer,
We note that you are overdrawn and, therefore, you are struggling financially.
To assist you at this difficult time, we have written you this letter, and we’re charging you £25 for it.
Assuring you of our full attention at all times,

Glad you support tax cuts then?
Bet you support that disaster of a tobin (flies be upon him) tax.
What the idiots who support a Tobin tax don’t realise is that no matter how small they make the tax, there is a point at which it makes sense to relocate in order not to pay it.
I don’t know what the proposed level of the tax is, but I’ve seen people try to defend 0.05%. Now if you’re doing 10 billion of trades a year (and that’s not large), 0.05% of that is still 5 million quid, which isn’t far off what it would cost to relocate a smallish office and staff.
For most people, it seems a tiny tax to raise billions for “good causes”. For those taxed, it’s a no-brainer to move elsewhere and not pay it.
The tax would be equal on all moves so would merely be passed onto the consumer directly with no increase in quality of debt, or decline in speculation.
It would merely makes the stock market MORE volatile.
I would suggest a tax on bank balance sheets of around 1% (to fund 100% depositor protection) and reasonable interest rates nearer their historic averages (i.e. less systematic debt).
Can’t see how a ‘house take’ (which is effectively what a Tobin tax is) on trades would make the market more volatile. Or rather, I can, but only at the margins – under normal conditions, it would act as a disincentive to marginal trades, but under stress, large trades at small margins would suddenly make more sense (I’m looking at it from a game-theory point of view, modelling trading as a poker game).
Either way, unless it is a global tax, it’s a disincentive to doing business, and therefore bad news.
On banks, I’d require sensible (min 15%) capital reserves, and a tax on lending for property (capital for equipment to be exempt) to fund a deposit protection scheme. The short-term impact would be harsh but manageable, but long term stability would be much improved.
You simply cannot have a highly regulated market economy as the costs can only be borne by corporations with a monopolistic control of whatever it is they produce or service,when do you think the next big auditor will break into the market,how do you think the next newly formed construction company in your area will get on the tender list for local authority work if the minimum turnover is £5 million,maternity/paternity rights are a godsend to the current champions of industry it simply entrenches them further.
As competition falls in the marketplace so too does global competitiveness hence the future ramp in inflation as foreign orders dwindle.
Received education is just that,you cannot buck the market no matter what protectionism is employed.
Also I am not a far right looney as you well know,Jon
But it isn’t, is it?
The teacher who complained about inequality, yet never mentioned her own pension and holidays.
The activist who claimed he was a ‘full time activist.’ But never explained how he survives without a job or an income except handouts.
Its a self indulgent hippytrip of the remnants of all the professional protest groups.
Did Greenham Women remove the missiles from the UK? No, they didn’t.
Regan did. By winning the cold war. The man that appalled those deluded women the most made the missiles unnecessary.What was funny was they could not see that the missiles were there to protect them, at the American’s expense, from the cold war bogeyman of the USSR. That CND was a laudable protest was irrelevant. The missiles were placed and removed without any input from the Greenham women.
These hipsters are no different. They are like a an over eager audience watching a weak magician who has barely mastered his craft

“Pick a cause- any cause -shuffle it – put it back in the pack -Don’t let me see, because I don’t care what it is..Ok..is this your cause? Save the polar bears? ..Well, close enough..you’re in.”

Spot on.
Indeed (apart from Bill confusing the chief protagonist of The Sweeney with the greatest US President of all…!).
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Vegan and Cartier.
THE Treasury – Pt 2
Tory Inspector ‘Dave’ Vegan arrives to talk with his young Detective Chancellor, George Cartier.
Cartier is explaining what he knows.
“This bearded lady came to see me right, guv’nor. She says her old man is missing.”
“Bearded lady? An actual lady with a beard?” asked Detective Regan, reaching for his gold cigarette case containing Turkish cigarettes and his Dunhill lighter.
“No Guv..just a beard..you know. A Broadway? A Danny? ”
“George…spare me the Mockney. Just tell the tale, son..”
“Well guv, she says her old man is missing. No one’s seen him since back in May. ”
“Since May? She didn’t exactly rush round in a hurry did she? 6 months and she’s only just noticed…”
“May 2010..he’s actually 18 months missing. She spends time away, she says..” George consulted his notebook, tapping his lip with his Montblanc.
“She says I don’t spend much time in Scotland In fact I’d rather be anywhere but Fucking Fife.”
“George..this isn’t a job for the Treasury. This is a missing John Q..give it to uniform..”
“Ahh..but, there’s a twist..See, I checked about a bit and asked his employer and they say yes, he still works there, but they haven’t seen him either.”
“What? And they are still paying him, yet he doesn’t show up?”
“£65 grand,”explained Cartier with a smile.
“£65 thou’ and he doesn’t show? Are they deranged?”
“£65 thousand pounds..plus expenses, guvnor. And they aren’t small neither…” He checked his notebook again “..colour TV.. airline tickets, petrol. Biscuits and bananas..dishwasher tablets..cleaner..Sky TV and a pony worth of Nokias.”
“Are you taking the piss George? Who can claim all this domestic? Its a bloody liberty..So let’s get this straight. This man, what his name?”
“Brown..Gordon Brown.”
“This Mr Brown is claiming expense for a job he doesn’t do, where he isn’t even seen for months and months, and he may or may not still be alive? And no one thinks this is ‘a little bit dodgy.’”
“There’s still more guv. He has other money coming in too. Look at these accounts. £3,500 from the Democratic Party. £2,00 from the Qatar friends of capitalism.
£0.65p from HSBC for ‘advice on the economy’ And all into an account in the name of the Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown.”
“Ohh I see…Brown bags is it? Brown by name and Brown by nature. And this Sarah is the old bag, am I right?”
“Right Guv. looks like a Guardian Media Group offshore ‘arrangement’.”
“And you think she’s come forward now because he’s begun to diddle her?”
“I doubt that..I wouldn’t..tree trunks and a face like a rubber hammer. Wouldn’t touch her with yours, Sir.”
“You cheeky sod..Right, we’d better have a look at this. Get the car George. A Bentley I think. We’ll pay a visit to Mrs Brown and see what she really knows about the disappearing Mr Brown.”
“You know what I think? I think this looks like the Islington mob..you know..multiple accounts.multimillion quid deals..taxpayer stumping up for police protection and such..Its got the Blairs’ dabs all over it.”
“Don’t be soft George. .. The Blairs wouldn’t take a piss for £2,000. This is an altogether grubbier kind of enterprise. Now get the car. And some shooters.. we might get lucky.”
A worthwhile Endeavour.
Classic Bill Q – thanks!

My teen, who’s at uni in the Midlands, has four pubs within walking distance of his flat plus subsidised booze in the SU.

“on and on and on like the lingring smell of a cabbage fart.”
All very true Sir William, but you have put me off my dinner entirely (especially the cabbage).
When the protest started, it had a valid point to make. To it’s great credit, it did so pe*cefully.
Since then, it has become a bit of a mish-mash. It seems to have become a magnet for ‘activists’ of all sorts, so nobody is quite sure what the protest is really about, now. It seems to have caused the Church on who’s lawn it has landed a great deal of grief (though to be fair that is mainly the said Church’s fault), and the fact that most of the protestors go home to quite pleasant properties each evening is something of a PR disaster.
So far as banks and corporations go, there was undoubtedly hubris in the boardrooms of some banks before the crisis of 2008, and there still is. However, they alone are not to blame – it was politicians who decided to use taxpayers’ money to bail out banks. The sovereign debt crisis is caused by governments borrowing beyond sensible limits, and the ‘easy credit’ splurge causing the boom of the early years of this century was down to central banks, including especially America, being too free with interest rates.
All these, and the many economic theorists encouraging them, also bear part of the blame. To attack banks and corporations alone is too simplistic; it also won’t solve the current problems.
Exactly, they should be Occupying Kirkaldy where the loon who decided on corporate marxism lives.
Occupying the Bank of England and demanding an end to QE might be more constructive, followed by using their energy to start new companies and help earn our way out of the mess.
Fuck off – Kirkcaldy’s a shithole. Not a single Starbucks, and no free WiFi…
It does seem a bit unfair that the Wall Street mob are causing pain for Obama, who probably agrees with them, and not Wall Street, who couldn’t give a Sir William’s cabbage emission.
Dubya would probably have set the National guard on them.
Dubya possibly would, but that might have been a bit of a PR own goal. Better to ignore it and let it peter out of it’s own accord. Obama seems perfectly capable of making enough economic problems for himself without needing any assistance from OWS.
If it wasn’t for the BBC bigging it up at every opportunity, the London one would have fizzled out by now.
That’s a nice big winge, Mr Richards. So what’s your solution to all these alleged problems? Any constructive ideas or policies?
Let capitalism work without trying to socialise it, like it’s meant to. If a company, or bank, is bankrupt, call in the liquidator and let the share holders take a haircut like they are supposed to instead of pissing away good taxpayer money putting off the inevitable.
The Greenham Common women spent about ten years camping outside a US airbase until it was finally closed down.They didn’t spend the odd night in a tent in between their media and PR jobs and popping home to feed the cat.
Those of us on the anti-Poll tax march endured beatings by hoards of Met police who’d been hiding in the South African embassy. I witnessed old ladies being charged by officers mounted on horseback and others being truncheoned.
Blair got the tanks out when millions of us protested against the Iraq war and Labour’s phoney claims of WMD.
So Jon, your generation doesn’t have a monopoly on protest and we don’t need lectures from someone who thinks that camping outside a church and forcing the resignation of a few misguided twats in frocks is going to change the nature of capitalism.
not sure how old you think I am or why you automatically assume that I think it will change the nature of capitalism but you can’t deny at least the idea is being discussed on a large scale like never before. I too was on the anti Iraq war march so not really sure what your point is here?
This narrative that is being sown that all the protesters are just posh kids called Tarquin who go home in the evening and thus aren’t ‘Real like when I did it back in the day’ really is clutching at straws. The whole thermal imaging thing was debunked by people who actually know about this stuff within 24hrs. If you are not moving (thus not causing excess body heat) and are in an insulating sleeping back, it is more than likely that you won’t show up through a tent. I certainly admit that it’s a mainly middle class protest but descending in to childish name calling such as that does not help move the discussion forward…
If you do some elementary research you will find that capitalism has been discussed quite extensively already, in China, Russia, Romania, Poland, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary etc.
Greenham Common women, poll tax demonstrators and anti-war protestors all had clear objectives. Under huge pressure from the state some aims were achieved through commitment by a diverse cross section of society.
This church protest is laughable-despite claims they were going to stop the City,they didn’t last a day near the Stock Exchange. Even a spokesman from UK Uncut dismissed the protest as having no clear focus and suggested they move on.
debunked? Bollox!
1) return to separation of invt banks vs retail banks
2) changes in corporate governance so CEO’s don’t just give their mates non-exec director roles to agree their massive salaries / bonuses at the expense of shareholders
3) A more robust clawback system where any corp that needs bailing out can reclaim bonuses paid / allocated to staff who caused the issue leading to a bail out
4) More transparency in government procurement / legislation to ensure rules / laws aren’t created by lobbyists to enirch whatever industry they happen to be lobbying at the expense of whatever group the UK population might actually prefer (see Liam Fox)
5) A clearer path to bankruptcy / restructuring for global firms so we can end ‘Too big to fail’
just a few examples. Nothing desperately controversial imo, just trying to tidy up the nasty excesses of the unfettered capitalism we seem to have now.
Anyway, the football’s started so I think that’s me for the evening, cheers all!
If the capitalism had been unfettered in 2008, the banks would have been allowed to fail (some were – Lehmanns, Bradford and Bingley for example). Government action should only have been stepping in to nationalise the retail sections and guarantee deposits prior to selling off again as a going concern. I understand the retail sections of the banks were broadly sound, so would have been saleable.
1) is to happen by 2019, I think.
2) is a matter for shareholders. If there’s less money sloshing around the world economy, it’ll happen anyway.
3) If they’ve caused that much of a problem, fire them. Another mistake by government – when it stepped in with taxpayers’ cash, the failed board should have been dismissed as a condition of bailout.
4) If you follow this blog, you will know Guido’s attitude to lobbying.
5) If they’re bust, they go bust. That’s all that’s needed.
> return to separation of invt banks vs retail banks
It’s a nonsense that won’t make any real difference. The thing to tackle is credit volume.
The thing is to stop buying stuff you cant afford, using money that doesnt exist, to impress people you dont even like. The Public are stupid thick fuckers. The banks facilitated their fuckwittery. This is the result.
End off.
@ Keeping up with the Joneses – Indeed, and that should apply to governments especially.
It’s an undeniable fact that many governments have spent way beyond their means, and made promises they have no hope of keeping. The left-leaning governments have been the worst offenders, but they aren’t the only ones – America’s woes are not solely Clinton and Obama’s doing.
Hey Jon-Perhaps you could send your suggestions to Blair, who walked into a couple of cushy roles at JP Morgan and Zurich Financial Services after leaving office.
I don’t watch football.
The unbridled wealth and conspicuous consumption of the players turns my stomach.
Guido isn’t happy with the bail-out of the banks? Socialism for corporations isn’t really what Guido is about.
Good, but you used to have a decent informative blog that used to show a side of politics, the nitty gritty that was actually a useful service to the public. This bollox about Tarquin or all OWS protester being marxists really is beneath you. Grow up and return to informing the publc about the insder details and shenanigans that go on in Whitehall rather than this fox newsesque shite! What we need is independent voices that are actually independent in mind and thought rather than just another partisan blog. Not sure if you’ve ever seen ‘The Slog’ (http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/) but that’s the kind of thing i’m talking about not this childish nonsense.
It’s not about being a marxist or otherwise, Jon – it’s about what is achievable without causing mass ‘poverty’ (read – your pension fund is all of a sudden worth 10p in the pound). The whole system is rotten, and it cannot change – the idiots in Paternoster Square just don’t realise how bad it is.
Just thank your lucky stars you are middle aged now, rather than in 10 years time.
To be clear, I don’t think it’s about Marxism either. I was referring to the hyperbolic extreme comments by Guido and other commenters that mean we have to descend into silly name calling and unrealistic extreme arguments rather than a rational discussion. I also agree that not that much needs to change and I am not advocating things that would cause mass poverty. A couple of comments up I listed 5 possible policies / ideas that might help which would not cause this. I’m a little disheartened by your view that the rotten system cannot change, I hope that’s not true. As I said, i’m not talking about a whole system overhaul, just some intelligent tweaks which might improve some corporate behaviour.
It’s not about corporate behaviour, no matter how bad that may be. It’s about a world with finite resources, increasing population and an expectation of increased wealth for all. The only way that the illusion can be perpetuated is by continually creating capital from debt – borrowing from the taxpayers of tomorrow to fund the transient pleasures of today. Fractional reserve banking and paper money are the main tools of this deception, and banking is subject to periodic snapping of the illusory elastic to bring things back to reality.
We can continue as we are, or we can impose sensible restrictions on banks – either way, tomorrow’s taxpayers will pay for today’s folly – the only matter for dispute is the ultimate bill.
Jon you have to understand that some of the “leading lights” on this blog reduce everything down to a hatred of “Jocks” and “the Scotch” . Almost every post is filled with this infantile racist bigoted bile. The paragnostic is one of the worst offenders for this. Pathetic old men , talking simpleton nonsense and pissing off many people who otherwise might have something constructive to say.
Now, now, anonymous – I haven’t even started on the Jocks yet.
Where would you like me to start?
Gordon Brown and his nonsensical pseudo-economics?
Fred Goodwin, the failed accountant, fraudster and general cunt?
Or shall I just cut to the chase and mention John Law, the architect of France’s demise and inventor of sovereign debt and paper money, whose policies led to the beggary of France and indirectly to the Revolution?
Or would you prefer to return to your piss-soaked park bench, Bucky and fried pizza in hand, and bother some poor fucking squirrels again?
Jon- re.your complaint about silly name calling on this blog.
Is that why you described us as narrow minded,dim witted, far right loons,ignorant,pathetic,childish, uninformed morons?
Politics takes place in Westminster, not Whitehall.
You think that?
I beg to differ.
The politics in Whitehall is far more vicious than the politics in Westminster.
Anonymous – agreed. This is the first time i’ve posted on this blog and mistakenly thought there might be some intelligent and rational discussion rather than the offensive bile. My mistake I suppose….
If it’s the first time you’ve posted, maybe you ought to consider the merits of brevity before you bother again.
Just sayin’, like…
There seems to be a misunderstanding prevalent about what politics actually means.
As if they aren’t marxists in the main. The lefties on twitter are at fever pitch convincing each other this is the vanguard of the revolution. George Monbiot etc have been wanking furiously.
Guido isn’t happy with the bail-out of the banks. Socialism for corporations isn’t really what Guido is about.
Oh, how articulate of you, such a pity that the rest of the dicks you have around you do not have a clue! Perchance you could become a Spad to Ed Millshit!
I am so impressed by your article I feel the need to swoon, must go…………
Grow up, dickwod!
I’ve just resigned for no particular reason.
Are you going to resign?

One day while walking by St Paul’s
A woman grabbed me by my ball’s
I cried for help , but no help came
And so she grabbed my ball’s again
How did you avoid the m*d?
Did you talk to G*d?
Can you let me know who that woman was and give me her number? Was she a teenager?
Who’s son is that?
Not mine I hope!!
Could be one of mine.
No he’s intelligent.
Whoever he is, he is a very naughty boy !!
Hmmmm.
I suspect that he’s waiting for a train and working on a Dell.
Which means that is not a tarquin or even a protestor, but someone working a 70/80 hour week!!
I need to talk to young mrnell tomorrow , when I get the chance, because it looks awfully like him!!
That’s one of mine.
Speaking of fighting the system, how about Guido or others set up a Let’s Back Greece campaign in their fight against the EU gorgon….(doesn’t matter if they lived in large on free cash, look at all the wasters, baby breeders, Bankers and terrorists Labour gave our money to).
I have done by bit by purchasing a bottle of Mykonos Beer
Why are you posting your own tweets?
Because he’s a shameless whore.
A bit of knobbing can land you in a lot of trouble. Ask Julian Assange.
Evening ar cat !
All of these ‘protest’ groups started out of Canada funded by one of George Soros’s professional lefty/progressive/marxist activist operations.
This bastard is a crazed old man making billions out of manipulating the Marxists
Blame Canada!

Bollocks. He’s made his money, now let him have some fun.
Evening your éminence grise.

Yes. We all know that. But you’re not the real Mad Frankie Haddock son of Cod.
Your bang lets you down.
‘Fraid it is the real me cat, I realized the truth of it after years of banging rent boys and sucking cock on Clapham Common. I was in total denial until one day I found myself rimming Gregor the neighbours dog. I wouldn’t look twice at a bitch tbh.
Now if you had said Falinge Park, I might have believed you, but your geography goes no further than your locality. Have another shot – no, not one of those…
I really thought we had got rid of TaT the piss soaked tramp !
after all this time he still has fuck all to contribute !
I’m talking about my pre Falinge Park days cat, you dopey fucker. Don’t ask me what I’m into now, but it involves dressing up as Liberace, a bucket of swarfega and a dead trraffic warden.
Is that the Swarfega with or without the polyurethane crumb?
On the other hand a lifetime of knobbing lets you get away with it. Ask Handycock.
TOP TIP !
Do Nowt Dave , Stop Caving in to public service unions by giving them even better pensions than they deserve .
Let the bone idle fuckers go on strike ,it will save the country up to £200 million a day !
I will bravely capitulate and cower, as always. For Lo! I am the biggest cunt in the history of British politics.
I only stick to my guns when my opponents are Conservatives (*spit*).
Love to know the pension packages these union bosses are due.
One day they may grow out of it!
Usually by the age of 18.
I guess with dumbed-down edukayshun, it might take a bit longer now. 20?
Unless they go and work in the public sector, the BBC, or as a stand-up “comedian”…
I spotted one of the protestors popping into the McDonalds on Fleet Street for a cheeky burger. The staff made him take off his Guido mask before serving him. Made me laugh.
I’ve only ever eaten one McDonalds and that was 30 years ago.
Let me out please. My father’s a rock star.
Are you ok, sweetiekins?
Those nasty council-house-dwelling chavs aren’t still buggering you senseless every night, are they?
Don’t forget, poodle, you can’t hate these people. They’re your equals, ok yah?
See you in 8 months, I’ll be outside with the Bentley, sweetie.
Send him some vaseline sharpish you silly bitch.
Just turn off all the free wifi and network signal around St Pauls and all the losers will disappear.
On a global basis, people don’t have to spend £2000 per month on rent, £1,600 on electrics, £2000 on council tax, etc etc.
if you dont lick Guidos tweets then please feel free to take a full refund and fuck off
I luv it when you talk dirty you filthy bitch.
Do you like in buckingham palace?
No one ‘has to’ spend £ 2,000.00 per month on rent.
O reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is as cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady:
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need–
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need.
Harshe butte fayre.
Get yourself a tent then you whingeing cunt.

Well Guido militwit with his £2.5million house and as opposition leader with a salary that is far in excess of £21k means he’s way ahead of the 1% doesn’t it?
His ‘marxist’ Dad, who was far more interested in making £millions than he was in parliamentary democracy, would be proud of him wouldn’t he?!
I just received a nice letter from Gordon Brown, saying what a big fan he is.

Fuck me, who does he think he is? The banks may have caused the crash, but so what? (read Ayn Rand). The only way to solve this is to carry on attacking and demonising those on benefits who lost their jobs because of the bankers. Reforming the banking system to stop something like this happening again is ideological and driven by hate.
Silly cunts borrowing money they couldn’t afford from banks that couldn’t believe their luck when Gordon relaxed the regulation is what caused the crash – just remember it takes 2 to tango, or 0.11 if you’re a fractional reserve bankster.
Indeed. About 6 years ago, I was working as a trainee in conveyancing (never, ever, ever again!). Literally one in every 4 mortgage offers that passed my desk was for a 120% or similar loan from Northern Rock for clients who I could see from the other side of the desk were pig-shit thick and simply must be lying about their income to the mortgage lenders (with the full implicit knowledge of the mortgage sellers).
I couldn’t believe it at the time, and I wasn’t at all surprised when it all kicked off for Northern Rock.
I used to despair when trying to explain the implications of their mortgage offers to them. They didn’t want to hear, and you could just see the “never never” mentality.
Bob Diamond said as much yesterday – it wasn’t ‘casino banking’ that caused the problems in the UK, it was idiots borrowing money they stood no chance of paying back on the premise that property prices would continue to rise for ever. Having said that, what the fuck was Bob doing at the time to discourage it?
>it was idiots borrowing money they stood no chance of paying back on the premise that property prices would continue to rise for ever.
AND THEN SELLING IT TO AN EVEN BIGGER IDIOT.
“The only way to solve this is to carry on attacking and demonising those on benefits who lost their jobs”
Their jobs being, “leave school (after £120,000 has been spent on their state education) with no qualifications, breed, get house, claim benefits”?
Let’s not forget (because you have, clearly) that every single penny of Income Tax (raised from British workers) is spent on welfare payments for antisocialist parasitic scum.
Your solution to that is what? Piss-away more money?
You are a stupid cunt.
“those on benefits who lost their jobs..” ??
what alternative paradise is he living in ?
most people round here on benefits have never bothered to get a job!!
didn’t finish school – had children by the age of 16 – got loadsamoney from bliars/browns/balls benefit system, got offered a 3 bed house, had more children, got more money got offered a four bed house, went on 5 star holiday on benefits to costa del sol and on and on>>>
Why would they want to work? Letting the kids run feral, letting the garden go wild, playing poker on line, spending life under the influence of vodka …… what’s to work for? labour’s wonderful!!

How dare the Greeks being given a referendum? No, we can’t be having that. Whatever next, populations being given the right to express their views? I didn’t come into politics to blindly carry out the wishes of my voters, who let’s face it aren’t the sharpest stones on the block, but to lead them with my superior intellect and knowledge of how international diplomacy works in the real world of Brussels, rather than their fantasy world of downtown at the burger bar.
Those employed by the taxpayer should not consider it as a free ride for easy money. The bastards stopped me claiming for a second home three doors down from the first so i’m determined to make some poor sucker pay in revenge.

Everything comes to those that wait…Cameron willl have to concede a referendum within the next 6 months…he’s been hoist with his own legislation….the fact that Greece will exit the Eurozone will require a new Treaty amendnment and as a result the pressure for the UK to have a referendum will be unstoppable sweeping Clegg and the LibDems to oblivion if they stand against it
