    Of course there are positive signs, I'm quite sure George and all his well heeled chums are upbeat, as the redistribution of wealth to the wealthiest perpetrated by government policy and the crooks at the BoE, ensures they aren't and won't be affected by the misery and deprivation austerity is inflicting on mere mortal tax paying plebs, pensioners and savers.

    It is getting harder and harder to keep the government and their cronies in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
