The BBC have just done a feature on the news at 10. It was very interesting. It was all about a "New Capitalism" where business and government are hand-in-hand (paraphrasing here obvioulsly).

I'm not a financial or political expert, and as a result I'm a little bit confused. I did history in school and at college and I'm sure I came across that mixture before, only it was called something different.

What was it now?

...

Oh YEAH, got it. I remember. It was called...

FASCISM!

So then I guess what we really have is the BBC, aided and abetted by politicians including Recently-Returned-From-Brussels-Just-In-Time-To-Oversee-The-Planned-Economic-*ahem*-"Disaster"-Lord-Mandelson, is a redefining of the language in order to hide what's actually happening.

Same **** different day.

I believe Mussolini had a relevant quote about fascism in regards to corporations and government.
