The collectivisation of liabilities rather than assets, and their redistribution to the workers, is perverse for the party of organized labour. Even Mussolini's IRI and IMI took the ownership of what was propped up by by the corporatist state.
What other perversities might yet be demonstrated by the 'Labour' Leader and his regime?

HG - open warfare breaking out on CU: stern rejoinder from enraged Toryboy
Bring rifle !
If it wasn't for Stalin he wouldn't be in England, ND, perhaps that's why he's so obsequious to Stalin's mutatis mutandis reincarnation.
Although while the Leader has the personal characteristics and ambitions of Stalin, his policies and actions are more those of a lesser Mussolini; at least Benito got the ownership for the people of Italy in return for their paying the price.
Lot of opposition to Mr Prodi's final disposal of those long ago acquisitions and the closure of the corporatist state.
Lilith, I don't want to track mud onto your floors so I'll regret the never-grown-up intrusion here.
The really upsetting thing about spots is that secretly I believe they have come from within, even though the treatments are all external and we're assured they're uttterly superficial.
Elby here, just a simlpe lad - what or where is "CU"? Please to be noting I wander in and out of blogs at random intervals. Though am thinking of doing one of my own ...
"I'm mad, and I'm not going to take it anymore".
How's about a new Jarrow March - "The March For Democracy", converging on 10 Downing Street? Or is the population of the UK now so numb they no longer give a shit? We got pretty worked up about the poll tax, but that is small - nay, miniscule, fry compared to what this bunch of hoods are up to.
Elby, (the Mad, wow, are you a Viking?) City Unslicker is a very up market (sorry) blog about financial and economic affairs and how they impinge on politics and, therefore, us. It's on the list of every blog you might care to visit, including Angels.
L was tired of a particular person who wants to keep women in their place. Mr Aitchgee, who has some knowledge of that area, thinks he's a Pole or Lithuanian who rejoices in being settled in an England he (the east person) regards as a democratic workers' paradise.
Physical demonstrations are very dangerous now, all the taser-carrying, no-rule-of-law, forces of law and order, and the detentions without habeas corpus, and the lathi being carried.
Blogs do get them cross and criticized; looking forward immensely to yours. In the meantime you might like to shoulder your weapon of choice and go to CU.
HG: heard Gordo's latest?

"The worst is not so long as men can say, This is the worst"
HG,
It creeps forward with every new public appointment, which will be paid for in taxes.
The number of people reliant on my taxes will never diminish, but there is no system to unravel the state funded employment accounts; they will always increase.
In the 1980s, there was uproar that computers would take away jobs from working people. Now, the same people are being paid to operate the same machines, and they have to be taught to do this. Never mind though, because the public services pay them to go on courses to do these tasks.
I regularly check the planning registers on locations throughout UK. I need the info for my work.
It takes ages for the councils to scan, copy, log in, organise, and send the information to the intranet etc etc, and who is paying for all the people to do this? Why b****r me, it's me after all this time!
Now, it saves me driving to Tunbridge Wells and paying through the nose for parking, but somehow, they've made a huge Poll Tax business out of their web services, which as I recalled earlier, were a threat to their existence...
Check you statements everyone!
I had suggested some while ago on The Hitch that there was no need for marches/demos - they are ignored anyway. The Stop the Iraq War and Countryside Alliance marches sank without trace.
I was among the first riot cops into Traf Sq during the Poll Tax demos. I was injured and took part in the Home Office enquiry some months later undertaken by Earl Ferrers. I'm convinced, from the discussion we had there, that the policy of long shield containment was introduced - demonstrators penned in and not allowed to leave, creating toileting and feeding issues which very quickly dampen any 'ardour'. But hey, E-K's just bragging ... I agree with you HG, this method of disobedience is fraught with danger against such expert and well equipped enforcement. Besides, I would never riot because there simply is no democratic point to it any more.
However, I feel that mass refusal to pay council tax, vehicle excise and BBC licencing et al WOULD have a dramatic effect. I know many police officers and soldiers and they are as angry as any one of us. It is also true that Gordon Brown has no prison spaces left so this, combined with the lack of support from those in uniformed service, indicates to me that his authority is a big bluff. The Parliamentarians have lost respect through their greed and hypocrisy and the judges have broken their contract with the public in upholding the law. What is there to respect in those whom we are meant to obey any more ?
Great Britain PLC is clearly a grossly over-valued husk surrounding a fruit that has gone bad, and the coming recession could be the best thing for us. A liberating experience, people awakened from their torpor by hardship like a bucket of icy water in the face - the realisation that despite the claims about us being 'the 4th richest economy' we can't feed or house our troops properly, our railways are an embarassment, our hospitals are infected pits and our sixth forms and universities are nothing but adult creches in a debased educational system...
No marches, no riots - just a mass withdrawal of consent to be governed and withdrawal of funds and a street-by-street defence of those individuals that the Government do decide to pick off for the purpose of deterrence and example.
I want Gordon Brown to call an election soon and for him to win it. I want him to be PM when the wheel comes off and to see him with his arm locked excruciatingly behind his back and his face ground into the dirt by the very people he's ignored, lied to , maligned and stolen from for the past ten years.
Does anyone have any better suggestions for getting our country back ?
Oh yes, HG. The spot is sat right on my "third eye"...festering intuition? The tea tree oil just seems to be slowing down its growth rate and not diminishing it's hold at all. I am sure there's a metaphor there..
