Holding the Foe in Play

'Strong activity in the aircraft and shipbuilding industries boosted output in Britain's manufacturing sector by more than expected in October, official figures showed today.'

Well it would, wouldn't it? The glorious Leader has ordered two aircraft carriers from the British (note the 'British' )shipyards, the most important of which is in his electoral backyard in Scotland . So a lot of staff are being taken on, no doubt most of them from Gdansk, but let it pass, let it pass.

The ship building industry in the United Kingdom would be at a total loss as to how to build an aircraft carrier even if you gave them the balsa wood and a stanley knife. The last serious order for a large ship went to Italy, as did the one before that which has just been launched - on time and on budget. Even the ferries are being bought from Poland.

The RAF is flying adapted Comets which ignite in midair.

The Bank of England has one man standing, like Horatius, trying to hold at least the financial and monetary probity of the economy.

Even the statistics and official manufacturing figures are a lie.
