Originally posted by expat View PostI should think so. Brown can hardly believe his luck, he's been dreaming of doing this all his life. For him, and Darling and a lot of people arouind them, nationalising is not an unfortunate necessity, but a happy opportunity.
That is why I fear for private pensions: I should think that Brown is, with the best of intentions, convinced that he is the best one to run them (and make good use of the money in the meantime).
Those who know Darling from his University days and early days in Edinburgh South Council would tell you he is an unashamed Communist - its not by accident that he is presiding over the Nationalisation of the UKs economy.

I think Carbon taxes is the plan as it is a new revenue stream.

This is where you reply "certainly not : do you think I am some sort of soulless non-entity" to which I reply "that we have already established - now we are just haggling over price"
