Great Regulars: For both governments, it seems that

anything goes as long as "it keeps the economy flowing". The only hope is that people, confused or confident, rich or poor, recognise and resist any authority that tries, whether through tyranny or cosseting, to suppress their independent-mindedness. It's a timely warning, and always has been. Perhaps we should at least be glad that, during an economic crisis, there's little hope of excessive comfort--except for the excessively comfortable. Anyone for revolution?
