		<description>We are about to make matters far far worse with the clamour for the Bank of England to slash interest rates. A rate cut will have no impact on mortgage or business lending rates in the short term since the banks will use the increased differential between bank and Libor rate to generate more much needed profits. Inflation will explode in the medium term for the simple fact that the money governments are pumping into the economy doesn&#039;t exist - they have to print it. Zimbwabi has been printing money for years and now has an inflation rate of over a milliom percent! This is the economics of the asylum!</description>

		<description>What has happened is done ... we need to move forward as one and try to make it a better world for all ... a banker being rich is not the cause of others being poor. We can blame Brown
or the US, lock people up. Take their money off them and make them poor. That is not the way. The way is for all to have what they need. And the world has enough for all. The city is a part of London like a heart is a part of a human. It must be saved.</description>

		<description>right: the banking crisis, and what would Osborne do?

Apparently George Osborne&#039;s speech contained the truth about Gordon Brown.

Well here&#039;s some truth about George Osborne: he was in the Bullingdon Dining Club at Oxford.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-447223/Oxford-1992-Portrait-classless-Tory.html

For those new to this, it was a club which meant public-schoolboys at Oxford could mix with their old public school chums rather than have to rub shoulders with boys from other schools. This must have added greatly to the sense of unhappy alienation that a northern state-school boy would have felt on arriving at a largely public school dominated college.

The club seems to have gone out every now and again to a pub, smashed it up, then paid for the damage with some of daddy&#039;s money.

Boris Johnson and David Cameron were also in this club. What is going on, when the 3 most important Tories in the country belonged to the same exclusive little club at Oxford?</description>

		<description>When you are doing such an important job as Boris is doing, you have to remain true to yourself and to what is in your heart. 

More than any other politician in politics today, Boris Johnson is true to himself.

LET JOHNSON BE JOHNSON!</description>

		<description>Boris got really good press for his Conference speech.  After the jokes, he got Very serious.  He wants to control the Met. Police.  He is aiming for air conditioning on the Underground and hopes to get the Routemaster back on the road. He wants to deal with not just crime, but its breeding ground.  River travel for the Olympics is still on the agenda. Bicycle ranks for all. 10 new City educational academies. He VOWS he will fix it so we pay no more for the Olympics.  We have his word he will stay within budget.  I believe him. Boris we love you.

		<description>So Ruth Kelly dated Monkey Boy with the banana! Ruth and David Milibanana!  David M. and Ruth! What a combination! 

Apparently the Little Britain sketch was in a show on the best political comedies showing David Walliams smooching all over the Prime Minister acted by Antony Head.  Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy were the presenters and they were making naughty remarks that the sketch was just like Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson. I was told that they said that when the two of them were together in a room there was always an air of something going on that nobody else knew about.

Whatever could they have meant?  Naughty naughty!</description>
