The Worship Of Youth Has Diminished -

I Am Going To Confront The Old-fashioned Negative Thinking Which Says That All Government Needs To Do To Generate Growth Is Cut Worker And Environmental Protections, Cut Taxes On The Rich And Stroke 'fat Cats' Until They Purr With Pleasure. I'm Completely Repudiating The Idea That Government Has To Get Out Of The Way.

Small- And Medium-sized Businesses Need Access To A Diverse Range Of Finance Options, Including Non-bank Lending. These New Forms Of Finance Are Still Small In Scale Today But They Should, Over Time, Bring Additional Choice And Greater Competition To The Lending Market.

The Worship Of Youth Has Diminished - Perhaps Generally - In Recent Years.

I Have Managed To Infuriate The Bank Bosses; Acquire A Fatwa From The Revolutionary Guards Of The Trades Union Movement; Frighten The 'daily Telegraph' With A Progressive Graduate Payment; And Upset Very Rich People Who Are Trying To Dodge British Taxes. I Must Be Doing Something Right.

These 'masters Of The Universe' Must Be Tamed In The Interests Of The Ordinary Families Whose Jobs And Livelihoods Are Being Put At Risk. The Tories Won't Say Anything About The Current Crisis As They Are Completely In The Pockets Of The Hedge Funds.
