Thank jim.

I get fed up being lumped in with the lazy sods who choose not to work. I'm not one of them, I've rather be working than this stagnation.

Feels great to be a pawn in the grand social experiment of the decade, comrades.

Ah well, sleepy time for me.

Now they're seeking £20bn from pension funds

Pension funds urged to join £30bn infrastructure plan

Chancellor George Osborne plans to attract billions of pounds from British pension funds to boost £30bn worth of infrastructure schemes.
The government is expected to provide £5bn of the money by 2014-15 while it is "targeting" £20bn to come from big British funds.
But the Institute for Fiscal Studies said the £5bn figure was "pretty small" compared with cuts to capital spending.
