The Pentagon and its NATO partners are engaged in one of the most obvious and intensive propaganda ploys in their military operations against Libya since the days leading up to the “Coalition of the Willing” attack on Iraq.

The old ones are always the best, so I make no apologies for starting this column with Wilkins Micawber’s famous observation about the importance of living within your means:
“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”
The situation with Britain’s current account deficit is lamentably rather more serious than a mere six shilling overspend.
