UK heads for a double "dip"

[suityou01]

The UK economy is shafted because of the uncompetitive workforce. This isn't solely down to red tape, it has more to do with the relatively low level of education and high cost of living (which leads to high wages) which makes British workers poor value.

The biggest obstacle to doing something about it, IMO, is the anti intellectual attitude of a large proportion of the population. We have millions of thick people who are in fact so thick that they are unable even to imagine that not everyone is as thick as them.

I agree red tape is a problem for the manufacturing industry, getting anything made in modern Britain is a major undertaking. It is generally cheaper and simpler to outsource the work to e.g. China, Ireland, Portugal or elsewhere in the EU. I would also argue that if we had less thickos who needed saving from their own stupidity a lot of the red tape would be unnecessary.

ye-what?

You'll also find that most of the thickos had the majority of their edukashion under the New Lie and intellectual heavyweights like me had their education under the Conservatives.

Sadly, even with the best and most rigorous education, you can't polish a turd.

We recognise that Sas, that's why there'll always be a McDonalds badge with your name written all over it.
