    Ah, that's the old constitution which failed. The modern constitution was written after WW2 to close the gaps of the Weimar constitution that allowed Germany to get into such a mess and fook up the rest of Europe.

        You've pushed me to refine my point; I don't necessarily mind fixed term bonds being raised for specific, costed capital investment like bridges, railways, tunnels and airports that have a solid economic value. I object however to governments spending more money day to day than they recieve day to day; that includes payment of interest on those bonds. Brown ran a deficit, not to expand the capital investments needed to keep a modern economy going, but to waste on useless databases, ethnic peace bicycle lane consultants and quangos. Now Britain is paying the price. Actually, what I'm saying isn't really all that radical; it's part of Germany's constitution.
        Brown used to say something like that , 'the golden rule'. Or did he, mini-true may have corrected that misquote.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Yep, and they're rather good at it too. If only Britain's car industry hadn't been ruined by, who was it again, the trade unions and Labour governments nationalising it all?

          Did you know that BMW is the only car company to have run a profit continually since 1970 without needing state hand outs? It's still largely a family business; I think it's about 40% owned by the Quandts. It also belies the 'plenty cheapness' and 'efficiency' ideas of US and UK bean counter managers. One thing BMW have never done is plenty cheapness, and I think the same applies to MB and VW.

            He did, but it wasn't a rule, it was his Golden Bulltulip. The modern German constitution doesn't allow Ms Merkel to get Germany into the same mess, and this might be the thing that yet stops this big aid package to Greece; Germans are challenging the aid package in the constitutional courts and stand a chance of winning.

                      So, is it a coalition - in which case elGordo stays. Or a Labour win, in which case elGordo stays.


                      On my local councillor card I had to vote tactically as there was only three candidates - one of them BNP.
