Mark Carney's Davos speech was indeed monumental. His caste had always known that "the rules-based international order" was a lie, he asserted matter-of-factly to that caste, and now it was time to stop pretending. We told you so, and the nearest thing on the world stage to a perfect personification of your ideology has now confirmed that we had been right all along, even if, when citing Václav Havel, a Prime Minister of Canada might ponder that whatever else may be said of the fall of the Soviet Bloc, that fall was the reason why the binational state of Czechoslovakia no longer existed.
What next, an elite admission that it was possible to have both mass unemployment and galloping inflation? Today, there has been yet further demonstration that Britain had both. From the point of view of the people responsible, that is as it should be. Almost all Labour and other MPs regard it as neither a failure nor an accident, but as something to be engineered and celebrated, as it has been and as it is being, since the fear of destitution is fundamental to their control of the rest of us. They are the Heirs to Blair, whom Margaret Thatcher identified as her greatest achievement.
