Sometimes a picture is worth a thousands words! Keep them coming. There’ll be enough for a book just in time for Xmas 😉
And to illustrate what you show here, Richard, see the latest on the bedroom tax: already over 30,000 people in arrears, and over 300,000 to be affected within a short time.

If the Labour Party can’t even bring itself to adopt a policy that explicitly calls for the scraping of the bedroom tax – because they’re so scared of being seen to be soft on benefit claimants – then shame on them.
Ivan – the Tory programme of vilifying the poor is in full spate and has been very successful in enrolling the general anger of the populace and channelling it in the wrong direction. labour knows this and is clearly scared of this – they are utter cowards of the worst sort and are aiding and abetting the neolib agenda. They deserve political oblivion. neolibs must now be challenged by the grass roots, though judging by the demise of the occupy Wall Street group things don’t look good. I think people feel that those that control money are too difficult to touch, its as if they control the air supply and people are scared the taps will be turned of. I’m afraid the neo libs are ‘winning’ and until a crash occurs of unutterable proportions they will continue to triumph -people are too brow beaten to care, which is a state they want us in.
Maybe we will see something after their autumn get brainstorm in Brighton. Any day now, well Sunday.
Might I suggest that you set up a category for these diagrams – they’re very much worth one in my opinion.
Given they caught me by surprise over night last week (seriously – the idea occurred to me on a train late on thursday and I started publishing them before breakfast next morning)I didn’t do that
