Re: Nationalisation is the solution (4.00 / 10)

I've just sat this morning and seen a Tory Shadow chancellor sit and say with an absolutely straight face that "the conservative party has never been in Favour of Laissez-faire capitalism and has always favoured stronger regulation in the financial markets"

then seen the leader of the party railing against executive pay.

Am I awake, or is it some wierd dream I'm having?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi

We've always been at war with Oceania.

And as we long ago found out from Alice, that is down the rabbit hole.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
