How about oil and cereals? Hence, apparently, a lot of the price rise in petrol and grain. Round here the fields are uniformly viridian green with young cereals - all going on bio fuel. It reminds me of Mao when he gave the entire food stock of China to Eastern Europe in the hope that he would get the bomb in exchange (he eventually did). This misuse of our magnificent, fertile farms seems to me to be just about as daft. Of course, you're right when you say that the government will cop it. My own wish is that just a teeny weeny little bit will rub off, too, on Brussels.

In those four years many QUANGO's would be either hived off ( i.e. privatised so they charge business or individuals for their services directly and thus sink or swin on their own merits without burdening the taxpayer ) , axed as part of a bid to slash red tape by having fewer rules & regulations you need fewer people to do the admin or merged to nip duplication in the bud . On day one of a Tory government you could phase in two things that our economy badly needs - a 10% flat rate of corporation tax ( partly met by the end of business tax reliefs ) and a basic personal allowance of £14,000 p/a for all taxpayers ( partly funded by an end to most income tax breaks , tax credits getting the boot and fewer meanstested benefits for the working poor ). If you wish to protect people & business from the destructive impact of tax & spend then how about some radical ideas rather than handwringing platitudes ? 48% want tax cuts even if public services get less money and about 85% think taxes are too high . Steven McCabe admits high taxes caused younger voters to vote Tory in Crewe & Nantwich , Denis MacShane wants cuts in taxes & public spending to save Labour from losing the next general election and Nick Clegg wants a smaller state with some net cuts in taxation . The trend in favour of economic liberalism is clear - shaping economic policy accordingly by ditching our misguided commitment to match Labour's high tax causing public spending plans is just commonsense . Tax cuts if costed are popular - time for messars Cameron & Osborne to wake up and smell the coffee ! Such a policy is hardly right wing extremism if parts of Labour & the Lib Dems want it as well !

Opps, silly me, we can't can we? We've already destroyed all our industries that actually produced goods and even if we hadn't, the EUSSR wouldn't let us put our national interests ahead of those of the EUSSR, what ever they may be.
