Summary:

·       “Grim Labour” has prioritized re-election over the Ungovernable Kingdom’s (UK’s) economic growth problems.

·       “Grim Labour” will sustain its current finances, and pre-next-election fiscal stimulus, with a policy of Fiscal Euthanasia (FE).

·       The “Ungovernable Kingdom” (UK) will become more so, because “Grim Labour” calculates that it is cheaper to pretend to catch criminals than physically incarcerate them.

·       “Grim Labour’s” fiat “Orwellian” smart governance system, and de jure “Automatic Release” is de facto Burgess’s Clockwork Orange in practice.

·       Freakonomically speaking, economic austerity, means no growth; plus, increased numbers of “automatically” released prisoners, equals more crime.

·       The Fed may, “controversially”, intervene, in the Presidential Cycle, in September.

Extracts

·       The UK will become an austere economy with an ungovernable polity.

·       The June month-end Key Signals proprietary indicator shows that the Fed should now be easing monetary policy, which questions whether the intended easing of bank capital adequacy requirements will be enough to sustain the US economy until the new Presidential Cycle kicks in.

·       At this point, the Fed is unlikely to ease, before a new Presidential Cycle has begun unless it is rooting for the incumbent.
