Cameron at Bay

Those dark forces which hover over every computer-led enterprise attacked last week and were partially successful until driven away by my computer magician, Denise.  This accounts for the rather eccentric delivery of blogs recently.  The error has now been erased from memory and should not happen again.

What  is Cameron doing?  He is messing about in the Middle East when he ought to be at home overseeing the cuts he has proposed.  He reminds me more and more of Anthony Eden.  Here is another four letter word he may not know: "Suez". (Don't they teach modern history at Eton?). He funks carrying out the "cuts"  while strangling growth with the top rate of income tax at 50%.  We shall end up by getting the worst of both worlds i.e. inadequate cuts of irrevelant items and low growth dependant on the rest of the world growing.  A neighbour is going back to her home town - New York.  Taxation was the last straw for her so Boy George will get 50% of nothing instead of 40% of quite a lot.  Well that will please Vince "Soak the Rich" Cable who has learned nothing from the last fifty years of differential rates of  income tax. It will please Duncan Smith as well, as a step towards "Social Justice".

The Sunday papers are far too big and the articles far too long.  No wonder they can't collect enough money from advertising. 

It is now nearly a hundred years since Marcel Duchamp dipped a baguette in blue paint and called it a work of art approved by Tristan Tzara and the rest of the DaDa movement.  Now we have a shark floating in formaldehyde.  So much for progress in the arts.
