The Campaign for Public Ownership

What a successful campaign. We set up a blogspot website, then buy a website. We call for equity-for-subsidy swaps, social ownership, and the taxpayers to be considered. We do so in the knowledge of a coming recession.

Then we wait.

Now, as if by magic, the banks are being nationalised. City financiers are calling for a sovereign fund. The loss of building societies is being mourned. Germany realises that the toxins in its system came from derivative markets no one who hasn't seen cards sharps at play understands. The government is plunging into deficits so big it will soon have to bankrupt train companies by withdrawing subsidies, which will mean they get renationalised.

Then the US deficit will create economic nationalism in the US, and they'll move to only back American companies. That will bring BAe Systems near bankruptcy. Once they are under government control and not beholden to the American Department of Defense, Britain can have an independent military that can procure for itself, geared towards resupply of itself. Then this country can have an independent foreign policy.

With Germany very near a point where it might have to only honour its own German-issued euros, or those of countries like it in the Rhineland capitalism model, the way is clear for a land-based, non-statist, regulated, low-but-stable-growth economy.

And then we can start returning this country to the people--and I mean all the people, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or race--who are in it and who want it to be better. All over the rubble of the finance industry and the rip-off retailers and alongside the return of community as people have to depend on each other for a few years.

That's a good Summer's work isn't it? I should set up another website, called 'The Campaign for public caviar, champagne, women, dancing, cigars, over-intellectualism and a shaky grasp of sectarian and somewhat self-serving Catholicism'. Oh hang, on, I've done that already... wahey!
