Glenrothes
TB has eyes and ears everywhere... none more so than on the streets of Glenrothes tonight. Apparently the Labour camp have all but given up today, despite the fact that interest rates were slashed in another cheap by-election trick by Gordo. TB's eyes say that there is no sign of the 350 activits
Labour claimed
to have on the streets today. The SNP and Tories were out in force.
The SNP have been the dominent ones on the door steps - they've had activists all over the seat all week. The Lib Dems are making more of an effort than in Glasgow East and the Tories have thrown a fair bit of weight behind Maurice Golden. TB's mole will report directly from the count tonight.
TB's predictions: SNP victory by 1 to 2k - Tories in third. Hopefully.

What a facile comment. I think you should retract it. This move has nothing to do with politicians. I say that as a Tory because I don't like the idea of monetary independence being ridiculed by someone making a politically charged comment.
TB has no intention of retracting the comment. The PM has been putting pressure on the B of E for days to make this move and oh how fortunate it is that the decision came today.
TB doesnt like being this cynical but at the end of the day the truth is clear to see.
TB wishes he could be so naive to believe that the Bank of England is in anyway independent anymore.
Thank you for your input...
TB
