Conservatives Against The Market

Alistair Darling’s announcement of a £600 billion bail out for RBS and Lloyds is accepted with glum indifference . Wither the free marketeers now?
Surely raises problems for all those with an ideological commitment to free markets as the left joyfully point out . I agree it does and Gordon Brown should be searching his black soul right now . You see the funny thing is that the New Labour are far more committed to abstract Free markets than Conservatives ever were . I do not have an ideological commitment to the “Free market” .
I believe in Protectionism at times , certainly of jobs I daily witness the chaos and danger of the free market in Insurance across the EU ( Scandal about to hit the papers BTW ). I am highly suspicious of internationalism I value institutions that control capitalism and in general the social structures that free markets can attack. . I value the spiritual and social resources of the Nation along with its wealth and any dogma is to be viewed askance until tested by experience .
Brown thought he could have a high tax economy and pay for it by letting his Banking chums rip internationally . I think in his insane hubristic arrogance he thought he could ride the markets and deliver a greater Sweden to the British as well.He is not a conservative man he is a chancer . I often notice people who have never been near a market commenting with great confidence about the state of thwordl when they could not sell a bag of chips .
This is typical of the left . Giving them the market is like giving the Indians Whiskey with predictable results. Woo woo woo woo woo wooo bump .
