Where's it going to end?

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.

Hmm, just looked at it. IMG: if I recall, they were an invitation-only group of Trots who aimed at "entrism", i.e. planting followers in mainstream positions. Looks like they have succeeded.

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

That sounds likely, the ground is well prepared. But remember Brown's penchant for looking around and prudently trying to maximise revenue from existing streams.

I 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).

I think you'll find its a bit more than that.

one thing is for sure it will end in a very big bang - just like it all began.

right here but in a long, long, long time. well, we are due a catastrophic event. so maybe not such a long, long, long time. maybe just a long, long time.

I disagree - that kind of action would raise red flags all over and those government bonds they're trying to flog would have even less buyers than they do now.

£25bn

Aiming small isn't going to help. I;ll flog them some preference shares in my company (and a kidney) for that sum, though.

Would you sell it for 10p?

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"

Alternatively he may see my minimum wage salary, then demand a kidney from me

Plans are already afoot to nationalise body parts. You kidneys are belong to us.

Are we just going to continue to bail out every failing industry until everything's owned by UK PLC?

Shall I start sharpening my scythe for when I get conscripted to a collective farm?

I can think of better uses for it.
