        there is one thing which would kick start proper securely footed growth in the economy and that is to build the hundreds of thousands of houses that are needed, that alone would create so many jobs and so many spin off jobs and industries the economy would grow like a rocket

        meantime lads, as you've shown you have no clue when it comes to fiscal policy, I suggest you stick to something you can do like patching windows servers

        Should we have the houses built in India and shipped over since UK manufacturing is dead? It would be a lot cheaper.

          would it not be cheaper to ship all the indians back to India, reduce the UK population and thus reduce demand?

            no because the foundations of our society would collapse and there is not enough polls to fill in the gap, just yet...

                No the best idea is to send all the welfare dependents and incapacity dependents to India and Poland where it is cheaper to house and feed them.

                  America may well be founded on meritocratic principles, but can you honestly say that everybody has an equal chance of success there today?

                      You understand the fine art of running a corner shop? And supply the children with the latest merc, or is it just the area I grew up in...
