Goes off in praise of capitalism. But, at the risk of being thought one horn short of a helmet, can I beg to differ? You can no more immolate capitalism than you can pronounce the last rites over the lifeless corpse of laughter. Capitalism, like laughter, is the expression of an ineradicable human instinct. My belief in

I was surprised to learn this morning from the BBC on the day we celebrate the demolition of the Berlin Wall that this represented the triumph of capitalism. Twenty years on according to their latest poll Europeans are out of love with that same capitalism. Is the BBC about to

Michael Crick, love him as I do, is trying to create mischief in his latest blogpost on Jonathan Isaby's scoop. He reckons Lynton Crosby has "defected" to Libertas. Fail. Lynton runs a company which advises political parties on how to run and win election campaigns. He is a consultant. Consultants consult. They are the political equivalent of mercanaries. I'd love to see him back advisin...

Ah. Another crisis in the markets, another bunch of half-wits proudly declaring the death of capitalism. I may be relativley young, but I have already witnessed several claimed deaths of capitalism: the credit crunch, the dotcom bubble, Black Whateversday in the late 80s, and there was possibly something else that cropped in the 90s that maybe was a sort of capitalism with pneumonia, but not that
