Through the looking glass

And another beautiful morning and another delightful run.

Unlike the US economy, BP is keeping afloat with 3^rd quarter profits of $5.5 billion, and that despite being charged $40 billion to clean up their mess in the Gulf of Mexico. Pillaging global resources is clearly a very profitable enterprise.

Meanwhile the UK’s economy is in the hands of the rosy-cheeked young heir to the Osborne baronetcy, a man whose main work experience before joining the Conservative central office was allegedly folding towels in a fancy London department store. Confusingly, he claims that the UK is a safe haven in the stormy international waters (or something like that ), whilst at the same time blaming our under-performance on the royal wedding, the sunny weather, the previous Chancellor, and because a bigger boy told him to do it. So nothing to worry about there then !
