Disturbingly, I wouldn't discount the possibility that Gordon got some of his ideas for dealing with a recession from this. His political career has mostly consisted of stealing other people's ideas and policies before pretending that he believed them all along. He's the equivalent of a magpie.
C'est les bollox du chien.
OT - Iain - you gonna publicize this Henry Porter thang? I'm getting a bit worried about where the boundaries of this movement of liberty end - it's all very well saying no to this and that (fair play, no worries) but what is prescribed?
I loved Helena Kennedy's Power Commission thang but would never agree to it - anywho, £35 nicker seems reasonable - cheap seats in Manchester unfortunately.

SALARIES of top civil servants and ministers, who have a sizable chunk of their salaries linked to the performance of Singapore's gross domestic product, will fall 12 to 20 per cent this year as a 'sharp' recession threatens to increase job losses and hurt lending.
The total salaries at the ministerial grade (MR4), will fall by 20 per cent to $1.54 million, while the pay at the SR9 level (entry superscale grade) will fall by 12 per cent to $351,000 a year, compared to 2008.
