After Reg bo!!ocked the 'international masterminds' responsible for Turkey's economic problems on Friday. The lira has continued its slide by a further 3% or so against the dollar/pound/euro today. Particularly guelling (no pun intended) when the price of oil has tumbled and Turkey has benefited enormously as a big oil importer. What's a matter with these people have they not heard that Reg has spoken, or is that they are not listening to (excuse the football analogy) the 'special one'?
All getting a little serious, as it could impact on next year's general election. So we have got the usual Reg response - for the consumption of the pious or just plain stupid Turkish AK supporters - is to point at non existent enemies, within and without, arrest and jail individuals from one 'enemy' group or another, where possible, and most important of all start to lubricate with the use of government cash, where necessary, to motivate individuals, businesses, public administrators and politicos to ensure the correct result next year. Bag of coal or washing machine anyone?
