Cameron refuses to deny discussing BSkyB bid with News International | Politics | guardian.co.uk

Very dangerous waters to be sailing in! It seems likely that all the big issues between the press and politicians could be done independently of formalities. It's party stuff, slap on the back, whose your best friend these days, etc. It would be naive to think that awareness of anothers money does not buy influence... that autobiography or the speeches that gleen fortunes on retirement from political office. It's not a question of short term contrivances but long term investments in people and strategies for wealth arising from the printed and spoken word over a good stretch of time!

Raging Inequality May Cause Unrest and Violence | The Big Picture

A very perceptive commentary on American politics since the country was formed out of revolution. The two facts that should worry any community are it's inequality and it's widespread distribution of firearms. Revolutions occur after tipping points that push people to act. The big gamble is that they remain ignorant to the real forces that cause them grief!

UK banks dragged into eurozone crisis as global markets take fright | Business | The Guardian

Seems we are another step closer to a massive world depression! If only there were a way to climb out of the trap made from past mistakes in monetary and fiscal policy.

We are mired in an unfair world economy in which banks and borrowers are subsidized while working people are laid off. The screw has turned and we will see negative consequences.

It's not a question of possible steps toward what a world central bank could accomplish, it's a question of massive maturity mismatch and the mathematics of business cycles!

Having made monstrous policy mistakes, there is no easy exit like waving a magic money wand!

Republican bill to ban energy-saving lightbulbs fades | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Boo hoo!

I am neither Republican or Democrat just an observer. But, Republican credibility is a great as who they propose Americans to vote for and the ludicrousness of their latest thinking on serious environmental and economic issues! They do need help of the fundamental form.

We can all wonder at the mad hatters that put together Republican environmental policy which is full of stupid ideas, YES! stupid stupid stupid stupid ideas! Stupid people producing stupid ideas!!!

What creepy crawly hole does the minimum brain of these ideas come from. They are so damaging to the Republican cause as to create wonder and amazement that people could be so blind to the obvious needs of the sensitive people and fragile world they live it.

Well, let's just light up a cigarette and vote Republican! Maybe American will become a one party nation if the stupidity of the policy makers at the Republican headquarters continues unabated.

Would Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland ever become fascist states outside the EU? Unthinkable or likely?

No our best bet is massive default, a few really big bank failures, and countries paying their way afterwards?!

How long can the IMF now keep the illusion going that people will tolerate unreasonable transfers of wealth to unscrupulous banks. It is not thinkable as a sustainable international monetary policy.

Banks need to shrink, the big implode happen and shareholders in banks take a massive loss for their sins!
