Secretary has a point...

The Children's and Schools Secretary in Britain has voiced fears of a return to "far right politics and Fascism."
"I think that this is a financial crisis more extreme and more serious than that of the 1930s and we all remember how the politics of that era were shaped by the economy."
Though a former economic advisor at the English Treasure - having a name like Secretary Ed Balls, and an inconsequential title in the British Government is likely to tarnish any message the poor bloke would speak - but it most certainly gets buried under the massive festival of DOOM which our politicians are celebrating these days.

And that's part of the problem.  It's as though every time a politician speaks, Adam's "invisible hand" smacks down the economy with a vengeance.  Likely, those few brave souls confident enough to invest in the economy are busy playing the economic equivalent of the "Hokey Pokey."

And perhaps Fascism will rise in the world - but I really hope not.  Humanity has got to be smarter than they used to be, right?
