Anna Raccoon has a great post about our outgoing chancellor and his last Labour giveaway of our money - £25 billion of it to be precise. The following section though has given me strange thoughts and I may have to go and take a cold shower before I can't stop thinking...
Coalition Policies – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
An email came my way this afternoon from the LibDems outlining the policy agreement for our new government. I have to say that its something of a mixed bag but there certainly seem to be more highlights than outright failures. Without further ado, a Wasps view of what...
Markets calling the EU’s bluff?
Reggie Middleton of Boom Bust Blog has a damned good (and comprehensively sourced) opinion piece at Zero Hedge giving the view that the "EU has made one of the largest policy blunders of modern times" which possibly explains the deceased kitty bounce in the graph on...
Euro Economics in pictures.
A rather amusing graph showing that the much discussed weekend EU bailout didn't actually put much fire under the Euro after all. Not that any of this will get much attention in the UK newspapers for a few days with our own political shenanigans. Shamelessly pinched...
British Airways enters self destruct mode.
FT Alphaville has a good summary of the latest BA strike debacle. The Airline seems intent on losing any good will they may still have in their battle to reduce staff costs : Indeed, BA cabin crew apparently don’t think a volcano has been enough trouble to the...

Pictures they wish had never been taken – Balls edition.
Whilst Ed Balls face was never designed to be pin up material, he certainly seems to have a knack of gurning whenever a camera is around. The picture below, for example, was spotted at Guy Fawkes' blog and would appear to have captured the moment when Mr Balls...
Liberals – like bearded ferrets in a sack.
Meetings, meetings and more meetings with no outcome yet - I wish they would get on with it instead of arguing the toss while the country borrows half a billion pounds a day just to keep running. Enough already! Anyway, here is a quick round up of whats being said...
Lib-Con or Lib-Lab
Whilst the good news is that the one eyed snot gobbler is going, the bad news seems to be that we may still get stuck with Labour and Mandelsnake in charge after all. Obnoxio, in his usual style, gives his take on what that will entail and finishes in style : The even...
