Economic War

I think that we are almost in a state of emergency over the economy, part of an economic war being fought against our enemies. Should the Stock Exchange not be closed because surely divulging information useful to the enemy should not be allowed. Share prices collapse harms morale. In fact all statistical information should be discontinued with immediate effect. The Retail Price Index is too important to come into the public domain. There is actually too much information, think of all the civil servants who should lose their jobs if all the information did not have to be collected and collated and issued to us the public.

How many armoured vehicles are going to be sent to the army for use in Iraq and Afghanistan, 700. That is information useful to the enemy, I should not know this. How many soldiers in the war zones, seven thousand odd, what equipment do they have Prince Harry, what body armour. All of this is useful to the enemy. Get your finger out Gordon.
