The Sex Industry Industry Just Got Bigger

The Major was so enraged he nearly did himself a serious mischief. "WTF should I pay for some bearded sociologist to spend a year visiting lap dancing clubs?!" he foamed. "When I go along with my chum Gomulka, we damned well have to pay for ourselves!"As you will have seen by now, Leeds University is advertising for a sociologist to spend a year researching "the rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labour and consumption...

Inspectors On The Non-Job

Labour's huge and incompetent government inspectorates are worse than a waste of money - they are downright dangerous. Take today's scandal:"Poor standards of care at an accident and emergency unit in one of the country's flagship hospitals may have contributed to the unnecessary deaths of over 400 patients, an official NHS investigation has concluded. Dirty equipment and an absence of leadership contributed to a death rate almost 40 per cent...

Keep Right On To The - To The - To The

A very scratched recordRegular readers may recall the paper we wrote last year for the TaxPayers' Alliance calling for the abolition of the Barnett Formula (see here and here). We argued that Scotland should be granted full fiscal autonomy, with responsibility for raising its own tax revenues. Since then we've had a weighty report from the Calman Commission that fell some way short of what we proposed. And yesterday we got...

The Medium Is the Message.

Last week, I attended an unusual evening built around neuroscientist David Eagleman's book of short stories about what happens when you die.As well as the engaging conversation of Phillip Pullman, there were a series of live and recorded readings by luminaries such as Jarvis Cocker, Stephen Fry and Miranda Richardson. And it was this that fascinated me - some of us preferred the live performances, others found ourselves more engaged in the disembodied...

How Many People Work For The Government?

How many people work for the government? According to the Major, the answer is none. Personally, I think that's a tad harsh. But prompted by a comment on a recent BOM post, we've taken another look at how many are employed by the government.We start with the official count published by the Office for National Statistics. It says that as of Q2 2009, public sector employment totalled 6.039 million, up from the 5.182 million Labour inherited...

Thank You Notes.

It was interesting to hear a group of newspaper letter-editors reporting an increase in one type of letter. The type where readers make public their appreciation of customer service that they have recently received.Therein lies the seeds of an economic direct-mail campaign focussed on every local newspaper in your markets, but I'd say it was safer and smarter to focus on your customer service quality and let your customers do the direct-mail part for y...

Climategate

Warmism is not our specialist subject, but we really can't let the scandal of Climategate pass without comment. As you will know, emails and other material "liberated" from the publicly funded Climatic Research Institute at the University of East Anglia, show quite clearly that warmist "scientists" have been manipulating data on climate change in order to con the public into believing their religion. Their very expensive religion.The emails...

Yes We Can

Do we really need to go through all that again?Tyler has lost count of the times he's heard supposedly well informed people say something like "no government has ever succeeded in cutting public expenditure" (eg see here). Of course, it's completely untrue - even UK governments have sometimes managed it. But the myth persists.Unfortunately, it's a myth that could prove highly damaging to us over the next few years. Because by...

Going For Growth

Time to get seriousWhen it comes to the economic growth, the fundamental difference between socialists and free marketeers is that socialists believe you can buy growth with taxpayers' money.So today we heard Gordo's Chief Secretary to the Treasury - the person whose very job is to rein in public spending - once again telling us that cutting public spending to tackle the fiscal deficit would undermine the prospects for growth.Why's that wrong?At...

Earning Your Pharmacist An Honest Crust

May I tick your boxes?As we may have mentioned before, Tyler is a major league drug user. And not all of them are for recreational purposes: he routinely ingests an amusing cocktail of prescription drugs to keep a lid on his wayward immune system. So the other day he's visiting his local chemist to pick up the latest crateful, when he's accosted by the pharmacist (see here for previous pharmaceutical encounters). Would Tyler care to enter her...

Project Overruns Getting Worse

Gripped by immutable lawsThe TaxPayers' Alliance has just updated its analysis of cost overruns on large government projects. The headline conclusion is that they're getting worse, with an average 38% overrun compared to the 34% identified in 2007. In cash terms the overruns now amount to £19bn, or £750 for every single British household.The TPA's John O'Connell has waded through the details of 240 projects (well done John), but the top...

The (Same Old) 4Ps Of Marketing 2.0.

When the new "paradigm" comes along, people often describe it in ways that differentiate it totally from what came before. Often to enhance their guru status. That's a mistake. Revolution is rare - evolution far less so. Relating the new to the old can be much more insightful and is also more welcomed by the unconverted.In that vein, I prefer to look at marketing 2.0 in terms of existing frameworks rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After all, the two ends of the transfer are still essentially the same - there is stuff and there...

Stress Reduction for Painting Business Owners... Spend More Time In The Big Picture!

End of the year and winter is just around the corner... These are stressful times for a lot of painting contractors. Questions like: Did I make enough money over the busy season to make it through the holiday slowdown? Will the phone ring enough this winter to keep my head above water? Will the economy in 2010 be better than 2009... While no one has a crystal ball, there are signs that the economy is starting to rebound and the housing market is beginning to turn around, but who knows? The only thing we can do is keep a good attitude, make new...

Meanwhile, Back In The Real World...

Sharks can smell blood from miles outFollowing yesterday's shameless expoitation of HM the Queen by the ghastly Gordo, we got the latest fix on government finances back in the real world.As you will know, yesterday Gord promised to halve the government's deficit while simultaneously pledging to increase spending on such things as care for the elderly. We have no idea how would achieve that, and more to the point, neither has he. Today we learn...

We'll pass an Act - problem solvedQueen's fairytale day again. And the centrepiece this year is reportedly a Fiscal Responsibility Act, which will impose a legal requirement on government to cut the budget deficit. So what happens if they don't? Personal fines for backsliding spending ministers? Jail for the Chancellor?Yes, you guessed it - there are no legal sanctions at all. This shocking bunch of busted shysters reckons we'll believe...

Big And Inefficient

We all know our public sector wastes squillions, but just how inefficient is it? How does it look against public sectors elsewhere in the world?There are a number of studies that have attempted to answer such questions. One of the best known was published by the European Central Bank in 2003 - Public Sector Efficiency: An International Comparison, by Afonso, Schuknecht, and Tanzi.The ECB study seeks to compare the outputs of government with their...

Ignoring The People

Magnifique!The EU is one of those issues where the ruling elite systematically ignores the wishes of the British people. As the Major is forever reminding me, our rulers have led us into the clutches of an anti-democratic superstate on the false pretence that it was going to make us richer.The truth - as we've blogged many times - is that right now, today, we'd be just as well off economically if we withdrew. Indeed, there is considerable evidence that we'd be better off, because we'd escape all the membership costs.Now the TPA has produced...

Fag-End Fascists Take One Last Swing At Guildford

A city targeted for significant changeThroughout the long dark night of socialist hegemony, the plucky folk of Guildford have stood tall. Their worldly goods may have been pillaged to fund the fatherland, their schools and hospitals may have been run down and closed, they may have been threatened with the installation of giant toxic waste incinerators, and their council may have been subjugated to direct Gauleiter rule. Yet despite...
