    As an example, they've used a non-contextual graph of Britain's debt - if you use the equivalent debt/GDP ratio graph which is more relevant, you'll see that the UKs debt has been much more proportionately in the past, most recently just after the 2nd World War.

    On the other hand, they've also left out public sector pension liabilities*, which could be included for a more realistic illustration.




    *Unless there's another graph in there I missed.
    You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

        I've often thought we could prosper as an off shore manufacturing base selling to the bureaucracy bound Europeans.

        Mind you, we'd have to have to get the inevitable revolution out of the way first to get rid of the tw*ts that are screwing the country up.
        China, India and Asia are not as stupid as us. In 1975 we voted for a common market. Instead the politicians turned it into wrecking what this country ever stood for. The FRench and Germans don't like us. Why play into their hands?

        Until their is another war (which is how crises tend to end) when they become heroes. If we had an industrial base most oif them would be working. Can we not find a way forward for those who want to contribute?

        And most of us here are doing quite well - but like manufacturing we are going to be offshored. Hopefully if we stand up for their rights they will stand up for ours one day.

                They amuse me, when will they realise that the ultimate end game for this philosophy is a serious reduction in population. Something which I am wholeheartedly in favour of.

                Not really, no. Everything has become automated, so we need less people, but instead of allowing the population to shrink we have purposefully increased it. Sadly it is though whose who are less intelligent who have the most children, and therefore multi generational benefit families have been created.

I take no credit for that brilliant comment. Wish I could remember who said it. Well done that man (or woman).

                      Reading that Moneyweek article, it's no wonder HMRC are trying to screw everyone for more tax and push their moral arguments in just about every newspaper.

                      But in reality, they are just re-arranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
