WTF!

From Richard North, EU Referendum, comes this post from the NYT blog, the contents including a statement from Georgie Osborne that is unbelievable.
"We welcome the creation of architecture at the European level that can coordinate national supervision,” Mr. Osborne said in Brussels, where he was meeting with fellow European Union finance ministers."
Let me run that past you again: "We welcome the creation of architecture at the European level that can coordinate national supervision". Coordinate national supervision? 

As James Kanter so rightly points out, Osborne has truly shown where our Coalition's allegiance lies and it sure as hell ain't to the people of this country or their monarch - something that I pointed out yesterday here.

Its GOSPLAN. All over again...

"Initially Gosplan had an advisory role. Its primary objective was the co-ordination of the economic plans of Union republics and the creation of the common Union plan. In 1925 Gosplan started creating annual economic plans, known as “control numbers”. With the introduction of five year plans in 1928, Gosplan became responsible for their creation and supervision according to the outlines set out by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union."
