THIS SUICIDE WON'T BE PAINLESS.

As the unelected High Court countermands the decisions of the elected Government regarding the building of new schools, which unfortunately would be far beyond what the country can currently afford, perhaps we should look at some facts.

Our starting point needs to be the National Debt, this stands at a nominal £4.8 trillion. We could enquire which part of that debt should be used to fund these proposed schools. When a nation insists on living in the past, basing its actions upon socialist theory, we will inevitably hit the buffers. Those who take an interest in recent political history will have noted that the last Labour regime had a plan of school regeneration, uncosted, naturally. This was a political move, knowing full well that their conniving ploys would eventually cause chaos; so when we have a change of regime in Westminster, they, the Labour Party, think that they have a legitimate reason to sneer at the current Government, crying 'cuts'.

The case was brought to court by a group of councils most affected by this decision of the elected Minister for Education, following guidance from the Treasury with regard to spending taxpayer GB's hard earned money. My home city, Nottingham, forms part of this cosy sextet of councils. The Nottingham City Council, being the outfit that also expects millions of our money to fund the farcical tram extension scheme, something else where cost is rarely mentioned. All of them, including High Court Judges, need to read the book, 'When Money Dies', by Adam Fergusson; which would bring them much nearer to understanding economics and its knock-on problems for a stable currency.

WHO SHOULD RUN A DEMOCRACY?
