The Governor

It is becoming clear the the Governor of the Bank of England is somewhat under siege from a Government out of its depth and bankers who are cocking a snook to the rest of us and getting back to their dangerous ways. His speech was not only wise and to the point. It was very courageous. Some of it was in code. Read very carefully what he said and weigh every word. Should we worry? Yes we should. In particular we should look at the actual solvency of the casino banking industry with its giant daily trades. They end each day with hard liabilities in real money protected by soft assets which can become worthless in seconds. This is why the financial structure remains unstable.

Question Time

Well, it’s happened. We saw Nick Griffin perform. I doubt his party will gain many votes. There were some wonderful contributions from the audience. Any strength the BNP has is a measure solely of the weakness of the mainstream parties and their failure to connect with a new, better informed, more cynical and less gullible electorate. The major failure in the BNP catchments is by  New Labour, made in the 1990s in Islington and now in a muddle and worn out. You only had to watch Jack Straw. I felt sorry for him. He is a honourable man.
