Assuming the coalition of fools does not mess up the recovery.


What by not applying Labour's keep on spending bull****?

Labour's keep on spending bull**** was just for the election.

Behind the scenes, they were already planning exactly the same sort of
cuts and more that the Tories had been on about.

In fifty days time, we will have another budget, between then and now
the coalition get to see the previous government’s books that they’ve
been keeping highly secret.

Somehow, I don’t think it’s going to be good news.

The economy has been way beyond the comfort zone of ideological
argument for some time now.

It’s the mathematics that are in control now and if responding to them
means a double dip recession then tough – there’s simply no other
option.

Though it’s arguable that Labour would have almost certainly failed to
respond to the mathematics. Not because of ideology, but because
traditionally they have always been incapable of facing up to any
harsh financial reality without imploding.

With that lot, eventually, it would have taken the IMF to do it for
us, quite possibly with Gordon Brown running them (into oblivion) by
then.


Greece, anyone .... Spain, anyone ???
