And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou'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.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.

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.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

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