I am a bit hampered at the moment as my broadband has been out for 3 weeks.
Here's what I said on a thread earlier this year (around February so a lifetime ago) in a reply to a point CiderwithRsie had made:
'Below the surface, the crisis of the social democratic parties is even more profound than that of the conservative parties (and the conservatives parties are in a profound crisis). The conservatives have a simple message, namely that whatever austerity measures necessary to keep capitalism going must be carried out. 'There are no magic money trees'. The social democratic parties are in an even more profound crisis because their Keynesian policies rely on a successful capitalism. That is why in practice for now the policy of the social democrats (Labour in Britain and the Democrats in the USA) consist primarily of not doing anything and waiting for the conservatives to fúck up.'
My niece joined the gov treasury last year, they paid her a big bonus (unheard of) for spotting a major feck up that would have cost Millions.
One of the papers will be doing an interview with her soon as she is the first to have joined the treasury without going to Ox/Cam but Honors in law degree.
I'll have a word and see if she can sort out some dosh for you all just don't hold your breath.
