For Peter Mandelson
In my motor industry article I noted that Peter Mandelson seemed to have seen the light in the shape of the real economy and real politics. He defied the (unstated) Treasury line that nothing could or should be done about British car manufacturing. Now he has rejected the previous government line that there would be no public spending cuts. It was, of course, utterly laughable, a blatant lie that assumed the voters were so thick they would not notice. Mandelson has, apparently, defeated the 'voters are thick' faction. I warm to the man.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Ed 'Blinky' Balls won't like it. There's going to be the most almighty ruction between him and Mandelson soon, which Blinky will try his damnedest and fail to keep from the public eye.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait. I don't think Balls has ever faced an opponent as sharp and as skilled in the dark arts as Mandelson.
Didn't Blinky try to blame the whole 'cuts vs investment' ploy on Shaun 'Stinky' Woodward the weekend before last? He's already trying to dodge the bullet...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't read the last five words - what language were they in?
ReplyDeleteIf Mandelson is so pro the industry why didn't he support his great friend, Oleg Deripaska, who told us last night via the BBC that he couldn't understand why the British government did not help LDV and therefore save many manufacturing jobs ? Or maybe he did try ?
ReplyDeleteWOO W,,I CANN'T HELP .
