With age comes wisdom.
You've got ages to wait yet, if ever.

| This is as good a place to put this...
Football supporter politics, the politics of party and blind allegiance to one party colour irrespective of policy or daft or thick prats in charge...
Speaking of which, Boris Johnson wrote some utter shiote in his Telegraph column today, its here rlhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ed-miliband/10327126/At-last-we-see-Ed-in-his-true-colours-waving-the-red-flag.htmlrl and in doing so will have pleased the football supporter style party political followers of his particular flag and scarf colour.
Fact is, Boris was probably just nodding off to sleep on Sunday evening when suddenly, almost lost to sleep he sat bolt upright and cried out "Fook I haven't written my Telegraph bollax this week yet" and so dashing to the word processor he let rip with some completely senseless football style chanting about "the other side", delving the depths of out of date stereotype and hyperbole, standing on his seat at Wembley stadium leading the chant for his end of the stadium, "Call them Socialists" he chants as if none of us know what a socialist is but must immediately assume its something bad because Boris is using it as an insult.
Fact of the matter is that this current Labour Party is no closer to Socialism than, say, John Major was, or William Hague in his leadership days, or FFS David Cameron was, until he got elected and threw off the sheeps clothing to reveal his vindictive side - does anyone really believe that todays Labour Party deserves the title of "socialists" even when used as an insult ? Really ?
As a thing of bollax his column should at least distract attention away from this weeks media criticism of His David (whatever this weeks criticism is going to be, has he left official papers or a child or two lying around unattended recently?), but it fails even in that and just sits there on the page, looking like something you wouldn't want to stand in if it were on the pavement, and smelling like it too.
Football supporter politics at its poorest, and from the Mayor of London too.

Not this silly sound bite again. According to you anyone who passes a different opinion to you is either engaging in 'football supporter politics' or propaganda. Jeez give it a rest.

| Quote: El Barbudo "An earlier question to BiffasBoys to which (s)he has yet to offer a reply...
I'm guessing the answer will be "Gordon Brown"
At no point have I said social housing is wrong.
There is no subsidy. Seems quite smart to me. Government provides capital in far smaller amounts than it would were it to invest in social housing stock. This money isn't lost, it's secure & will not suffer from inflationary pressures.
There is no ongoing capital cost. Once any property is sold, HMG gets it's index linked money back. It's also the preferential creditor should any mortgage be defaulted upon.
The house building market is kick started, safely.

Riiiiight ... the economic crisis in the UK that precipitated recession in the UK is/was not part of the same economic crisis that precipitated the recession across the Western economies in the same way at the same moment ... OK, got it
But...but...but he did absolutely nothing wrong during his time as either Chancellor or PM.
These McBride revelations show just exactly who the nasty party really is.

| Back on topic, the spare room subsidy is such a sound policy, even Ed M can't say he'll scrap it.
Can't make any decisions until we see the books. But we can spend the bankers levy ten times over, while we dream up a coherent, real life policy.
