The winter of discontent - Mk II

Having lived through a couple of cycles of this, yes.

The last two cycles occurred completely under the tories. Or do you only count the ones where labour were in power?

The biggest laugh is you believe that ******* tulip!

I think I should bring it to your attention, doggy my old golfing buddy, that Hadley is a woman. She's also Jewish so careful with your final solution pun lol!

Actually it was she who mentioned it first.

BTW You up for 18 on Sunday at Dyrham Park?

It's cyclic, Labour get voted in, drop us in the mire, the Tories dig us out, put us on a stable footing, it hurts us financially and so it begins again.

You'll find it's the Tory govt of 70-74 (more specifically the "Barber boom") that dropped us in the mire in the 70s. Two years later the IMF were called in...
I suspect a similar scenario (with political parties swapped) is taking place now. Brown leaves a time bomb (ie uncontrolled spending, qe inflation etc) that will erupt next year or early 2012.

You missed one out.

Actually I'd quite like to go back to the 1970s. I had a stonking time.

Thanks Bog!

I think there are some parallels with the 70's.

I'm concerned about inflation taking off ...

I was wrong as usual, the whole 70s.

Anyway, he mentions an interesting Evening Standard headline about what to do about students protesting about university fees: The Finals Solution

Don't tell me - it reminds him of Heath's Tory government.

Right, now I'll check.
