Govt expenditure will rise each year of this parliament to around £740b or so. Last month HMG borrowed a record £15b - more than August 2010. I make it that my share of that is about £250.

Cheap energy will kill the eco-loons power over everyone, so they won't want it to ever get to the surface. The first signs have already started. Just you watch the campaigns grow. 'Fracking causes earthquakes', 'Fracking pollutes the water supply', 'Fracking will make the earth open up and swallow your house' etc etc. <br /><br />We have all that to come.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-17147725212593871262011-09-23T08:44:44.922+01:002011-09-23T08:44:44.922+01:00Not all bad news.
