Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And if you are not, then remember that the New Labour project was about
getting elected and holding power come what may - even at the cost of
their traditionally held principal and free speach within the party.

So whatever awful things they are associated with (government
scientists suicide, bungs for policy on cigarette advertising, Iraq,
"loans" for peerages, or anything else - they are not going to tell you
that they are afraid even if they are. They're just going to smile and
say how wonderful things are.

And if an "economist" tells you not to be afraid, ask him about
Kontratiev. Ask him to deny what Kondratiev said. Then tell him to
shut-up.
