As the lovely picture from Punk rock Libertarians wonderfully illustrates despite objectionable [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/09/occupy-where-ever/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/07/best-walk-so-far/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/07/best-walk-so-far/#comments Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:25:31 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2018 Another November the 5th gone and another “quiet” walk around London with the indomitable Old Holborn, Olly Cromwell, Katabasis and others whose presence has been erased by alcohol (remind me if you want) – which was an utter blast. As has become our want we met in the pleasing environs of Chandos to exchange niceties, [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/07/best-walk-so-far/feed/ 3 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/01/light-the-blue-touch-paper/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/01/light-the-blue-touch-paper/#comments Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:02:49 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1993 So the Greeks appear to have lit the blue touch paper under the Euro project, by the crazy notion of asking the people what they think about a huge financial deal before signing up to it. Yet again the idea of a referendum seems to be throwing the euro-project into chaos and confusion, it would [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/11/01/light-the-blue-touch-paper/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/15/a-fiscal-miscellany/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/15/a-fiscal-miscellany/#comments Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:43:06 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1757 Back to talking about the economy again I’m afraid, and you know it’s got bad when even the BBC have noticed something’s wrong (H/T Penny Dreadful). Sadly it seems that the terribly dangerous deflation we should all worry about hasn’t happened, instead by printing a metric truck load of cash we’ve got inflation. Which really [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/15/a-fiscal-miscellany/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/02/a-miscellany-of-tax-and-spend/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/02/a-miscellany-of-tax-and-spend/#comments Thu, 02 Jun 2011 13:13:39 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1717 Terribly sorry to bang on about matters economic, but well it does seem a rather important topic, so please do indulge me. Just a quick whistle round a few bits in the news today. First up, Guido rather nails the deliberate inflationary policy pursued by the Bank of England to protect the banks at our [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/02/a-miscellany-of-tax-and-spend/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/01/spending-our-taxes/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/01/spending-our-taxes/#comments Wed, 01 Jun 2011 14:11:46 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1713 Just to follow up on yesterdays post on Tax freedom day, I realise I didn’t mention how much the EU spent. Thankfully due to an article brought to my attention by Penny Dreadful I can now correct this, as the Telegraph have all the gritty details all 9.2 billion of them! 9.2 Billion being the [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/06/01/spending-our-taxes/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/05/31/tax-freedom-day/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/05/31/tax-freedom-day/#comments Tue, 31 May 2011 22:38:53 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1696 Continuing my grand tradition of being late to the part it would seem that yesterday was Tax Freedom day the day of the year when we on average stop working to pay taxes and start working for ourselves.

All those terribly terribly harsh cuts didn’t stop our net deficit growing to 10 billion last month, nor [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/05/24/i-see-no-cuts/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/05/19/rally-against-debt-round-up/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/05/19/rally-against-debt-round-up/#comments Thu, 19 May 2011 23:16:15 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1651 Just a quick round up of further posts I’ve come across regarding the rally against debt, in particular order and without rhyme or reason.
