Trouble there is Adam we might need something like a protracted war to realign unemployment to employment as was the case then.
No wonder there was full employment, a great swath of our workforce aged people had just died!

Maybe we should take a page out of clement attlee's book found this while surfing the web .

What Malcolm says; but the clue is the start of the second sentence: The government maintained most of the wartime controls over the economy, including control over the allocation of materials and manpower...

Which neatly fails to mention that the principal one of those controls was rationing - food rationing long after other countries had ended it! That's the main reason Labour lost the 1951 election.

Excellent! I don't suppose the "part-time lecturer in economics at a second-rate polly" got as far as Hayeck. He's defo long overdue reading for too slow, too shallow Microband though.

LOL! Blair stumped for words!

Long pause for thought then thinks, umm.. no counter arguments here, and too dangerous to go there anyway, so I need to isolate these people. "In my experience in politics there are three kinds of people. First there are the reactionaries...". In typical shyster fashion, once he has seeded the thought he has no use for developing a real argument, and so veers off into playing to a house packed out with Euro gravy-train'ers.

Pity Nige hadn't got right of reply, as he'd surely have helped Teflon Tone as to what the other two types of politician might be!

Yes, at six or seven years distance it's self evident to all what a load of hot air is coming out of Blair. It would though be interesting to dissect his calculation of when to quit while the going was good.

So the new French President takes off in his state jet to fly to a meeting with Frau Merkel where he was expected to start renegotiating the whole Euro crisis debacle and a lightning bolt hits his plane making him return to Paris.


Strewth, who’s going up against Sarko or Merkle now!
