The king is in the altogether

Well said. Could this actually be the moment when Gordon and his advisers actually begin to understand the real problem. We are bust, and the world knows we are bust. The PM (although it was a king in those days) has no clothes, he is in the altogether as per the refrain from a famous tune when I was younger.

The day of reckoning cannot be far off. The budget which is one of the latest in modern day history, will bring nothing. Poor Alistair Darling must stand-up to a failed PM. I am not willing for my children and grandchildren to be saddled with debts to maintain an unsustainable life style for me. In the meantime incomes are rapidly falling because the immediate post war birth bulge is now retiring, now that will be a real fall in income.
