Mervyn King and the Bank of England

So here we are in 2011 and we have QEII and that is not the cruise liner going on a voyage. But it might as well be one as we learn from Mervyn King that he believes that not only are we headed for a double dip recession but that the problems ahead may be as bad as the Great Depression if not worse!

Clearly, Mr King knows a thing or two about the Economy and need for stability in time of crises.

But I do question his undoubted wisdom this time round; the injection of around £75B over the next four months may be welcome to keep money moving but the doom and gloom of something unimaginable and worse than the Great Depression we do not need.

So if you get a chance to read this Mr King. Try to be just a bit more bullish next time.

The CNJ special on Camden Conservatives at CPC11

The group photo of Camden's Tories had a splendid turnout this year. The main story that Richard Osley choose to focus on however, was comments from Cllr Jonny Bucknell going against party lines on asking for the entire HS2 development to be axed.

Since the proposed route would cut underground through virtually most of Camdens housing estates such as Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and parts of Kilburn. Cllr Bucknell voiced valid concerns for the residents of Camden. And is completely correct to represent his ward of Belsize.

On such local issues Councillors often go against national party lines.

Camden Group held an excellent reception on the last night of Conference.
