"For 11 years, Labour has sucked revenue from the productive part of
the economy so as to engorge the unproductive part. Now, it has
reached the dregs.

In his recent book, David Craig has calculated the amount of extra tax
raised by this government since 1997: an almost unbelievable
£1,229,100,000,000."

"There is, as those oriental religions would recognise, karma in all
this. Brown is chiefly responsible for the shift from the
entrepreneurial to the state sector. Private sector workers are now
paying less into their own pension funds than they are paying in tax
to guarantee the pensions of public sector workers who have already
retired: £17 billion a year as against £20 billion."



From Wilson to Brown, Labour never learn. They have this tidy and idealised
vision of public workers happy and content - at last - because they have
picked others' pockets to make their lives comfortable. Yes, they will vote
Labour because they fear an alternative, but they will never be thankful.
Perpetual discontent is a feature of their work - their unions nuture it,
because they benefit.

I predicted some time ago that some (non MPs) in Labour's Millbank House
would like to see a Tory victory about now. They know that it's easy to
squander billions of pounds raised through debt, but picking up the pieces
is going to be very tough. If another Thatcher comes along, he or she will
know that the price of correcting the economy will be a lifetime of being
reviled by the politically and economically illiterate (see: this NG).
