    It’s that old idea that you can build weapons in order to get yourself out of an economic crisis. Didn’t seem to work in the run-up to 1914 or 1939 and I doubt it’ll work this time either. But it’ll distract the ordinary man or woman on the Clapham Omnibus from realising how shit everything is.

      Oh it works just fine. The secret is you have to use those weapons to get the stuff other people put work in to create in the mean time.
