    Can't find the lyrics but Deutschland Nicht Über Alles by Jean Jacques Burnel is a good one to wind them up with

    ..yeah but you aint German - as the song has it -

    It's only water
    In a stranger's tear

    Looks are deceptive
    But distinctions are clear
    A foreign body
    And a foreign mind
    Never welcome
    In the land of the blind
    You may look like we do
    Talk like we do
    But you know how it is
    You're not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us
    Not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us



    There's safety in numbers
    When you learn to divide
    How can we be in
    If there is no outside
    All shades of opinion
    Feed an open mind
    But your values are twisted
    Let us help you unwind
    You may look like we do
    Talk like we do
    -But you know how it is

    You're not one of us
    Not one of us
    No you're not one of us

    To which you can add:

    * Including in the CPI basket new high-tech items like bluray players which naturally reduce in price, to skew the figure downwards

    (justifying this sleight of hand by claiming the basket needs constant revision to reflect today's purchases )

    • They use euphemistic terms such as "quantitative easing" instead of saying they intend to print money like there is no tomorrow.

    * Outright lying in official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.

    They lie about everything else, so why would they have an attack of conscience when releasing figures. Anyway doesnt the ONS report to the treasury?

    * Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.

    They dont need to bother. They just release bulltulip.

    * Price and wage controls.
    Well they are trying to control what traditionally is the private sector, using threats and money. If the banks dont comply on the mortgages I think they will start to regulate.

    * Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or something similar.

    National Insurance Contributions

    * Adjusting the components of the Consumer price index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest.

    This is old news, bread and milk have risen 2% tf inflation is two %.


    Most of this happened when the economy was booming, so **** knows what this lot will get up to now.

    Hmm, from wikipedia:

    Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include the following:

    * Outright lying in official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.
    * Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.
    * Price and wage controls.
    * Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or something similar.
    * Adjusting the components of the Consumer price index, to remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest.
    Which of those have new labour introduced already?
