    The more I read it the more I like it. The thing with me is that if I get in
    I'll stick to my manifesto :)

    Have you got any grown-up arguments, or are they all from primary school
    playgrounds?

    No, no, no. That's 'define'

    You *fine* them by making them looks after their Grandchildren.

    Tea, scones, comfortable shoes and framed photographs of
    grandchildren.

    Oh no you didn't.

    a) You mistook 'subsidy' for 'spend'.

    For instance, when I buy a Motorcycle I am not subsidising Honda. I am
    buying goods based upon their market value. Hence I am spending money.
    In the same way if MOD buys a dozen Eurofighters armed with cluster
    bombs, it is not a subsidy it is the exchange of goods (killing, for the
    use of) for cash at their market value (if such a thing exists for state
    of the art jet fighters).

    b) You mistook 'subsidy' for 'undeserved handouts'

    For instance the National Lottery will subsidise the running of a local
    hospice. On the other hand they have also given underserved handouts to
    Winston Churchill (grandson of famous namesake) for a few letters he
    should have donated to the nation for free.

    Ditto the government will subsidise the unemployed because that benefits
    society as a whole. On the other hand they have given undeserved
    handouts to relatives of a rather inbred German Family who used to go by
    the name of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

    The Tories hold the record IIRC <fx:googles> Ah yes 1993 at 8% of GDP.

    Back when 8% of GDP was a lot of money.

    Only the ones they caught. Though the current cabinet seem to evade capture
    quite well.

    Heh, I moved southwards during that time as well. Another 20 years and I
    might make it to somewhere like Milton Keynes.
