The right way: Bretton-woods
The right way: Bretton-woods: "In short the Bretton woods conference enabled the high tax economies of the west by preventing capital from moving elsewhere and thus preventing international capital competition and we are posed with the funding of the same welfare state (enlarged due to increased population and technology) after a economics crash and in a world of free capital."

Dizzy Thinks: The morons are back, this time with #savethenhs
Dizzy Thinks: The morons are back, this time with #savethenhs
A perfect example of the Left's hypocrisy.
"Yes children, that's right! We are now through the wonderful looking glass where the Opposition denounce policies based entirely on their own policies of the last decade because it's Tories implementing them.
