Still sinking into debt ....

One of the best articles on the state of our finances is Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's piece in today's Telegraph. 

What I find so so remarkable is that for all the talk of austerity, the UK government continues to spend even more now than it did when Gordon Brown was in charge.

"Cutting government spending", say the experts in Whitehall, "is like trying to turn around a super tanker.  Not even Thatcher managed it .... Must be done incrementally .... blah blah blah"

If government is so hopeless at reining in government, try giving the job to Parliament.
