Wake up and smell the austerity! Shock Doctrine come to Europe.
#8
I actually heard a BBC News report where it was stated that unless Camerloon followed this severe spending cut-back path, bankers would not buy their Treasury Bonds/Bills (i.e., government debt) or would otherwise force the Government to ramp up the rate of interest on same to make them attractive to said bankers - thus costing the nation a great deal more in servicing interest on said debts.

And not even the slightest glimmer of realization on the part of our illustrious News Hounds of the curiosity that it is our fucking bail-out money the bankers are using to purchase our Government debt in the first place.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
