Strange how the capital investment cycle goes, isn't it. Just when we've built enough skyscrapers to go into a serious economic crisis, we get all fiscally prudent right up until some bright spark realises that this actually strangles the recovery.

So….there's a new London airport on the horizon, and the high-speed rail-link to the Midlands is rushed through. Anyone would think these two things are, um, by themselves, not much of an indicator of horses changing in midstream: but I do rather think that Geo. Osborne esq. is having to do a bit of acrobatic equestrianism in catching up.

Though yet to be confirmed it now appears that the US seems to have done better out of its "bail-out" than we have with our prudent fiscal policy, in terms of its economy being on the road to growth.

This could be circumstantial or structural: after all the dollar is the global currency. Nevertheless Austrian dogma will no doubt have an undue influence on our economic policy.

Can't someone just take Little Gideon outside and have a small word with him? In private, I mean there's no point in humiliating him in public, unless he's actually down for the tumbril, and the thrown rotten vegetables, and the parade through the streets to the block.

Surely we can find him a job running a medium sized company? Perhaps in decorating or something similar: possibly even a figurehead position more suited to his particular skills and level of talent.
