So. Not the seventies, then

Welcome to the 1960s, serfs. It's what we call 'progressive' government.

Lionel Barber, editor of the FT (Randall, Sky), just called Gordon Brown's reversal of himself on Northern Rock, ' a Stop-Go policy.' Ah, memories. So, our Labour government is officially in the mortgage business when commercial banks cannot be. (Eh? No, of course it's not distorting the market. Is it, Gordon?)

Hm. I wonder what the betting is on that pre-emptive 2009 election? No, don't bother. Gordon 'Cunning Plan' Baldrick will have another new-old idea overnight. He still hasn't finished reading about what the do-something Tories did when they were in power and didn't shove the economy down the shitter like every single Labour government we have ever had.
