Nice. Trying to blame their economic failings on the actions of a few chavs. There will be chavs always.
What is needed is government removal of red tape, tax cuts and infrastructure projects. And training to make sure the jobs do not go abroad.
Boris for PM? -

Raising taxes in the middle of a deep recession surely doesn't help eh? It goes against almost every economic theory out there. Having a numb-brained chancellor doesn't help either.
Sadly there probably isn't much he (nor anyone) can do about the asian tigers. Have we reached the tipping point?McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Of course it would help if the govt had saved during the "boom" years(even if it was actually a boom illusion).Originally posted by lilelvis2000 View Post

The Aussie dollar is overvalued and killing exports , and Australia is due a recession. Property is way overvalued and a lot of baby boomers are coming to pension age soon. Once they hit 65 and start ditching their investment property because they no longer can use it to reduce tax, the property market will collapse. China are stockpiling resources, and will start applying the screws on the Aussie miners. Government tax policy will be the final nail. The Aussie dollar will fall.
Buying GBP/AUD now while it's cheap will pay off in the next 10 years, for sure. Wish I could park the dosh but I will need it.Comment

It's Tory crap. Why don't they stop the Bank of E. from flooding the market with artificially cheap money for the financial sector? Why would you want to wake up at 4 in the morning to so proper work when you can get money for nothing and reinvest it in gilts?Originally posted by mos View Post<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment

They might be more convincing if they themselves had any experience of working long hard hours for a crap wage. But they don't: Hard-working Tory MPs on “lazy British workers”

As a generalisation, they are right.
Too many people wanting someone else to 'invest' in them instead of taking the initiative themselves.
But the British aren't the worst in Europe for that.Comment
