As has been said above, the main problem is that our economy is far too based on services and low productivity businesses, cafes etc, which have been more severely affected than industrial sectors. Hardly just a Tory problem as we have been heading in that direction for decades.

Though to be fair you have found 2nd solution - move into the middle of nowhere, 12 hour flights to go on holiday anywhere other than New Zealand, lots of deadly insects, crocodiles, snakes - yeah, BUT you'll have less of them unskilled, uneducated immigrants.
Did I miss anything?
If not then feck off to Australia, I hear VB6 is a shortage occupation there, so you will fit right in with your Clipper skills.Comment
