Despite your unions, I think BO's a very different personality case from the S & M nutters. His interminable electioneering is shallow and annoying, but I doubt he would (against seriously informed policy advice) do something as "bold" and predictably economically destructive as the FTT. He...

Last week Sarkozy's rudely demanding the UK Prime Minister take his orders, then ignorantly refusing to shake his hand. This week he's overtly subservient to the unions. So this crackpot would say or do anything to curry election favour. Manipulative little nematode. Sarkozy on financial...

Their language is reminiscent of a past era. It's not going unnoticed by both small and increasingly powerful Asian countries. For example Bloomberg today reports that India and China are refusing to adhere to European ETS demands, unhappy that Europe is operating unilaterally. (Again). If...

This new measure, secondary to their new minerals resources tax and carbon dioxide tax to be introduced mid-2012 (the internationally uncompetitive carbon tax described by Obama as "bold"), further lessens any possibility Australia would comply with FTT proponents at G-20 level.

I absolutely concur with this analysis and don't believe it is even mildly over-reaching what we are seeing. Until recently, the world outside the European cabal reacted little more than slightly miffed by their forceful demands. Since the UK did not back down, what was once an easily...

leaked Brussels draft http://www.scribd.com/doc/75158102/Brussels-Draft-0812

The suggestion here is that the Tories should toughen Cameron's spine, or someone like Boris Johnson will. Cameron should cease his horse-trading language and grow some real backbone on this, or he might find his position under challenge from within...

Business colleagues sent a courteous letter to nursing officialdom suggesting that the tax they advocate could possibly result in a 5% pension reduction for their hardworking membership. An equally polite response declared they do not believe this would be the case. They then pointed out that...

During 2011, we watched as grandstanding Merkel and Sarkozy studiously dug themselves into a deep hole. The UK's Autumn Statement is unambiguous. It provides certainty. The EU cabal is on its own. They now have the duty of turning their self-built Titanic around --- or sink. UK Hansard: 29...

The website looks splendid --- magic. :)

I love this. The self-justifying, patronising hypocrites can squirm.

It's now become a case of the inmates running the asylum. Barnier says the FTT is "politically fair" when he really means "politically opportunistic". When Tortoise's new website is ready for distribution, this clown will be first person on my mailing list...
