Well lets hope you're right Fred. I wish I could share your optimism.

This latest round of ecomonic difficulties have only just begun to bite. What is worrying is the cluelessness of the main parties. Perhaps they aren't clueless, but they don't have a spring in their step any more. have you seen the figures for this months borrowing requirement - nearly a quarter as much again as Labour in the same period - and that was thought to be a disaster last year.

If someone doesn't start working the magic soon, within a couple of years you'll have the classic economic and political condtions for fascism to take hold.

these guys don't need an ideology - just knuckle dusters for idle hands.
