State Capitalism in Britain

Some key extracts:

The clear political advantage was that the public spending commitments created under these agreements, unlike the government borrowing that would have traditionally have been required for such investment, would not count as public debt.

The original claim for PFI was that it would raise finance that government could not - except that government discovered that contractors could not be found to accept the deals unless the risk was borne by the state and not them. Committed to making PFI work, Gordon Brown had no alternative but to agree terms that saw ‘capitalists' lay claim to future revenues without risking any investment.

The ‘third sector' is a grey area that has grown up where the division between public and private has broken down and many of the laws of classical market competition are inverted. Connecting for Health is an ‘arms length body' created to computerise the NHS. Its funds come in part from government directly, but mostly from the NHS Trusts that ‘contract' CfH to provide IT services. Except that the Trusts have no choice over whether to contract the service and the terms of the contract are secret even from those sitting on Trust boards. The ‘prices' follow no market laws, because CfH has to work, for political reasons.

Much of CfH's work is outsourced to consultancies. Not surprisingly, costs spiraled, while computerisation was painfully slow and inefficient. The ‘Choose and Book' system is estimated to cost £12 billion over the next ten years. Although it was formally launched last year, 90 percent of GPs' surgeries are not yet connected, and CfH admitted that hundreds of patients had to be turned back from appointments that were not properly recorded.

Slack chain

Bump.

Thanks for the compliment, that entire thread is gold. :)

no Balki, the labrador is penetrating the narrower jack russell, just as the teeth of a 1/8 cog try to penetrate the spaces in the links of the narrower 3/32 chain. you must think more about this.

Just imagine a circular labrador with 14 - 19 cocks repeatedly penetrating a very long, articulated jack russell with hundreds of anuses.

in what way will a 3/32 chain on 1/8 sprocket 'not work' though?

Is this the food thread now? :P It looks yummy, what is it?

UTFW:

Casu marzu is created by leaving large pieces of Pecorino cheese outside and letting it ferment. During the fermentation process, the eggs of the cheese skipper Piophila casei are either intentionally introduced to the cheese, or a female Piophila casei lays her eggs in the cheese, sometimes exceeding five hundred eggs at one time. The eggs hatch and the larvae begin to eat through the cheese. The acid from the maggots' digestive system breaks down the cheese's fats, making the texture of the cheese very soft, as described. By the time it is ready for consumption, a typical Casu marzu will contain thousands of these maggots.

Casu Marzu

Marwood: What about what's-his-name?
Withnail: What about him?
Marwood: Why don't you give him a call?
Withnail: What for?
Marwood: Ask him about his house.
Withnail: You want me to call what's-his-name and ask him about his house?
Marwood: Why not?
Withnail: All right. What's his number?
Marwood: I've no idea — I've never met him.
Withnail: Well, neither have I. What the fuck are you talking about?
