PROBABLY THE LAST COMMERCIAL CHRISTMAS.

The fact is, that from now on, our living standards will deteriorate for some considerable number of years. Don't expect by the second week in 2009 to be looking back at the bad times, they are still ahead of us. 'Black holes' of debt don't disperse automatically; we have to work it out. Exacerbating the problem, spending more on our credit cards to give us a last christmas hurrah, justified by the thought that holidays abroad are out for the forthcoming year, leaving us with extra for now. This is just an extension of the thinking of recent years, which created the problem in the first place.

Strangely enough, if only we could use our current parlous financial state for reflection, a lot of good could come from it. Let's view it rather like an illness which needs nursing and a discipline for recovery. For example: we wouldn't throw further viruses at a sick patient. That is what our stupid Government is doing, filling the void with our future taxes. It won't harm us to tighten our belts. Too much energy is expended on decadence rather than looking to spiritual options. The Archbishop of Canterbury flies a kite regarding the disestablishment of the Church of England, he may of course be in cahoots with the Government's 'pinko' back benchers. This is like raw meat to a pride of lions. They just can't wait to destroy the last vestiges of Britishness. These are the morons who, particularly during PMQ's, sit baying at any comment from the other side of the house, and they call it a job. Furthermore, we pay them handsomely for this. The last move one should make in wanting people to return to a community spirited environment, with parish church involvement.

Finally for our further Christmas entertainment, the Government announces various initiatives, which they probably hope we will forget about after the festivities.






SEASONS GREETINGS.
