Welcome, you're now entering Soviet Britain.
Seven million households are now dependent on benefits for at least half their income. That's one in three. Among single-parent families, the figure rises to almost two-thirds.
Welcome to Brown's Britain. The Chancellor's much vaunted 'enterprise' culture is exposed as the sham we always knew it was.
If you add in the six million people or more on the public payroll, more than half the country is living off the State. Or rather, living off the other half.
Gordon has turned parts of Britain into Soviet- style ghettos, where the majority either work for the Government or live off handouts.
This hasn't happened by accident. It hasn't just crept up on us. It is Gordon's deliberate policy.
He set out in 1997 to build a client state, utterly dependent on New Labour largesse.
As I've remarked before, this is naked vote-rigging. The plan was always to make as many people beholden to the public purse as possible.
Then, come election time, Labour can turn round and warn that if people are stupid enough to vote Conservative, they will lose their jobs, their benefits and their homes to the 'Tory cuts'.
Gordon may pose as a champion of the free-market but is an old-fashioned taxand- spend Scottish socialist who has presided over the biggest expansion of the state since the end of World War II.
Herbert Morrison, the leader of the old London County Council, promised to 'build the Tories out of London' with a massive subsidised housing programme.
Gordon has been using taxpayers' money to bribe the Tories out of Britain. And it has the Conservatives running scared of their own shadows, afraid to criticise the strangulation of our economy by the unproductive sector for fear of being called 'heartless' and 'nasty'.
Meanwhile, the private, productive side of the economy is suffocated by regulation and crucified by ever-higher taxation.
Not only that, but the country has become infantilised - 'treated like children' in the words of a report from the think-tank Civitas.
Millions of people are now so happy to slump back and accept what the State provides that they have lost all sense of enterprise and personal endeavour.
There has been a massive transfer of money to Labour's client constituencies in the North of England, Scotland and Wales.
Heaven help us when the tiger economies really start to roar. Crippled by the burden of taxation and red tape, British firms are already struggling to compete with the rampant new companies springing up across Asia.
The blame lies squarely with the Chancellor, soon to be the Prime Minister. For party political advantage he has taxed, taxed and taxed again, frittered billions on unreformed public 'services' and managed to chalk up a huge trade deficit and borrowing requirement.
Before long he will be cheered into Number 10. Don't say you haven't been warned. The Man Who Stole Your Old Age is about to blow your children's future.
