Apparently it is"too soon to write off hope" in this afflicted nation. Not so sure about that. The ANC is a corrupt venal immoral hypocrisy and yet they are looking at being returned for a further term in power, so I hope Mr Humphyrs will spell out why they are voted into power time after time and perhaps explain the serial failure of the political class in South Africa to deliver anything for anyone other than cash and patronage for themselves.

And all the time - the cold wind of being ignored blows over Conservative George Osbourne and even Ken Clark. One could be forgiven for thinking Vince Cable was Chancellor of the Exchequer given the scale and positive spin to the coverage he is afforded.

Today they are providing much publicity to the claims by an economist called David Miles, soon to be a member of the totally independent MPC! More green shoots of recovery - recession bottoming out - nothing to see, move along, Vote Labour. You get the drift. Comments: 5 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
