Censorship in real time: The article by the title above had a top-of-page quote above the the Haiti quake news. I clicked on it and found a brilliant guest opinion piece which I decided to post on WRH by the time I was done reading it. It made scathing comments about British bankers and leadership. But before I could finish posting, the article had been sent to the memory hole. Here is the quote I copied from it:

"The trade benefits of manufacturing don’t require much emphasis in a country where we are all dragging around more than five times our own weight in mood-altering deficit, but there are even more important occult advantages. If you make things, you need to understand ideas, materials, markets, skills. If you make money, you just need the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing master. And when you make things, you restore that essential practical and moral connection between effort and reward. Of course, this was a connection carelessly lost when we wanted the economy run like a casino rather than a workshop."
