Sorry Tom, but I could only get about a third of the way through that rant. I agree with every word of it, but it just made me so angry, and reminded me why I had to give up my blog last year. So much anger against New Labour, whilst fully justified, is bad for the soul.

My strategy since last summer has been to keep a low profile, pay as little tax as possible, and to short the markets.

This may be selfish, but what can a humble blogger achieve? At least my new strategy has kept me sane.
