uk failed state : wages collapsing

**BrilloPad** · 29 April 2009, 19:55

The private sector took the full force of the fall in weekly earnings, down sharply by 7.7pc at £463.50, while average weekly earnings in the public sector actually rose by 3.2pc to £442.90.

The only way out of this recession is to cut public sector spending.

Did anyone press "save" in 1997? We could just reboot from there.

Browns only chance is keeping the public sector sweet. It's unlikely to save him now, as even he could not expand the state sufficiently during his time in power. He would have needed another 5 years to get 50%+ of the populous dependent on the state.
