Jonathan Portes agrees with Nicola Sturgeon on Austerity, and Air Miles gets an Appropriate Title


Here's a man who, despite his credentials of being from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, you won't be seeing a lot of on the BBC in the future, given that he disagrees with the Establishment. Even worse, he suggests that the first minister of Scotland is talking sense.

You could see the presenter squirm.

All the nice girls love a sailor...so they say.
Just to add a little levity to today's post, I read that His Royal Highness The Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Canadian Forces Decoration, Aide to Her Majesty, has been appointed, wait for it, VICE Admiral, no really,  by Her Majesty the Queen, his mummy.

It's connected in a way to the last post in that you have to ask, did no one at the palace or the Navy consider that as His Royal Nobleness was a bit distracted recently over his close friendships with a convicted billionaire sex offender and his dubiously young prostitute, it might have been better to cheer him up with, I don't know, maybe a party or a weekend in Venice or something. 

It's just that the first thing that hit me on the page was VICE ... of course maybe I just have an unpleasant mind...
