what that rather nice chart says is something the Left has been saying for a wee while now:
the best, the only way to get ourselves out of trouble it to grow the economy.

The UK needs to get industrious and start making stuff. And selling it. Lots of it. Right now.

that will ONLY happen with investment. Cuts will continue to do absolutely fuck all.

which makes it a little frustrating that Osborne's plan is all cuts, no investment, no revenue. In other words, he is Doing it Wrong.

Here's a video of an Occupy action at UC Davis that you might find interesting:

Worth watching all the way through, and reading the article as well.

I've been watching the Occupy stuff, but it seems to widespread that there hasn't been much point covering it in my journal.

It's been great to see a resurgence of civil disobedience and community on the left. I hope it can help swing the center back in that direction again.

When I left that comment I hadn't seen how viral the video already was at that point. You're right, I think it's getting enough play on its own.
