Tuesday 24 November 2009 - the plan so far 2:30pm on 24 Nov 2009 And the tables are turned against our political animals Matthew Taylor, Patience Wheatcroft, Lord Digby Jones and Ann Redstone in the Newsnight Politics Pen. How would our heavyweights raise money through taxation?

I'll answer for them in just 4 words...introduce the TOBIN TAX!

(PS - you can tell them that they can have the evening off now)

I’m starting to believe that UK net government debt has gradually been reduced so far this year, possibly by around 5%.

Had a look at their website but could not make head-nor-tale.
But as jadedjean always used to say...never let the facts get in the way of a good argument!

In his 1928 book entitled simply Propaganda, Bernays wrote:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government, which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are moulded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men that we have never heard of " we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons " who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires, which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.”

FYI, Holdens are either second-hand Ford or Mazda designs !! Holden is 100% owned by Ford and Mazda is 25% owned by Ford !!

"Ford sells Mazda stake and seeks aid from Congress"
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/transport/article5183204.ece

"Ford ended 12 years in the driving seat at Mazda yesterday with the sale of a 20 per cent stake in the Japanese carmaker. The struggling American company, which has given warning that it could run out of cash by next April, will raise about $538 million (£359 million).

Ford, which had held a 33 per cent stake in Mazda since 1996, has had an interest in the business since 1979. It will remain the biggest shareholder, with a 13 per cent stake."

The rest of are fortunate ythat you are not an aeronautical engineer!

Tories tweaking their message 8:10pm on 23 Nov 2009 Quoted from the end of the following Telegraph article...

Lord Turner interview: Time for truth, Adair and consequences
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/6630540/Lord-Turner-interview-Time-for-truth-Adair-and-consequences.html

...Turner rejects suggestions he should act as a cheerleader for the City and gives those views short shrift.

"The idea that financial services is at the heart of an economy that needs it is very important. There is nothing that I have said that says all that goes on in finance isn't valuable.

"The thing I've stressed is that there are particular sub-sets of what went on, such as the trading activity in credit derivatives, that was overblown," he says.

"Some of it is valuable and useful to society. But you've got to have that thought without believing that everything that happens is by definition valuable. And unless you're willing to deal with that subtlety of the argument, you're not dealing with the real world as it really is."

This guy really is the master of understatement!
