Britain: 2011 - Year of Struggle. Photo: Chris Beckett.The deepest crisis since the Great Depression, with its accompanying financial, banking and sovereign debt crises, has opened up splits and arguments not seen for generations. Where do they go from here? Savage austerity, which threatens the weak recovery, or possibly pump-prime the economy and risk market turmoil?

Whatever they do they will not be able to cure this unsolvable and protracted crisis of the system.
