Blimey, Ure not wrong.

Scotland is a lot bigger than the Mercator projection would have you believe, and as i was saying to someone just the other day when they were incredulous at the idea of reintroducing lynx (not the deodorant, though i dare say that would be more welcome), in much of it there really are eff all people.

TBF she was more concerned for the sheep. Baa humbug.

One of these is from a Movie called 1984 - some of you may have heard of George Orwell

The other is from this afternoon at a Conservative Party rally

This from Animal Farm

They look through the windows to see the pigs and farmers seated around the living room table, playing cards, making speeches and congratulating one another. Mr Pilkington makes a speech telling the pigs how impressed he is with Animal Farm, especially with the hard work and poor rations of the farm animals. Napoleon makes a speech in return, expressing his happiness that the mistrust between Animal Farm and the others is now at an end. He furthermore announces that the animals will cease to address each other as “Comrade,” and that “Animal Farm” will now revert to being called “Manor Farm.” As Napoleon finishes his speech to great applause, the animals outside seem to notice something changing in the features of the pigs, but what?

as the animals look from Napoleon to Pilkington, from man to pig and from pig back to man, they find that they are unable to tell the difference.

It is not a "Liquidity Problem": it is more correctly, a Debt Problem.

When banks (credit money creation) and central banks manufacture synthetic money, (QE), out of step with logical fiat monetary system basis (Money Increase must equate to "real" GDP increase), equals problem from disequilibrium.

The compliance issues and banker's concerns, relate to their excessive use (Abuse!) of Fractional Reserve Banking.

Nothing new here: indeed, in times gone by, bank crashes were quite common: mainly caused by bankers issuing valueless paper against deposits of real money.

Only major difference then was money in circulation enjoyed true intrinsic value, since it was tied, inexorably, to gold and silver.

Today, "money" is tied to a series of empty, valueless, promises

May 4th be with you

I have it ready

It's black bowler with small circular mirrors attached to it

It may take you a while
I'll let you have the sparkly bowler, along with a sprinkle of told you so's and a dollop of stick that up your jacksie?

Forget the polls and the betting shops and the "in-the-know" media reports, what do you think'll happen, lets try Stafford just Stafford JM, what do you think'll happen in Stafford? ...Lefroy again?

I'm not asking your age!

I'm a realist, but £30 spent would see £100 returned if LazyBoy loses

I think what will happen is William Hill will be £30 better orf

Some Tory votes will go to UKIP from people who think they're more Tory.

Some Labour votes will go to UKIP from people who are more concerned about immigration than most other things.

Some Labour votes will go to NHS & Greens from people who would like more effort on the NHS and Green matters.

Lib Dem* votes likely to be generally scattered to the wind.

Most people are Tories round here anyway.

Likely result - Lefroy win with slightly reduced majority - from a lower turn-out.


Results from a general discussion with fair selection of people likely to actually vote, over the last few months.

*In fact, Lib Dems have never been mentioned,
