So now all the Thatcher hot air is dying down ....

So explain to us what your lots industrial policy is then O wise owl - let us see an example of what you mean

My "lots"? What's my "lots", you absolute nincompoop?
I really hope you haven't bred, because your kids are fooked: low IQ if they've got your genes, no prospects in a country too stupid to fix itself because of stupid ideologists like yourself. It doesn't look good.

[vetran]

We have such a policy.

High tech industry - China, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan
Service sector - India
Heavy industry - Overseas, wherever is cheapest
Everything else - Here, staffed by immigrants.

scarily close to the truth.

[original PM]

Without some sort of industrial policy, it doesn't matter who you vote for - the country is condemned to permanent decline.

so that's it then?

we are doomed to slide into a mad max styly post apocalyptic world where gangs rule via violence and terror and money has no meaning?

Its rarely that dramatic - what usually happens is that society somehow muddles along in a kind of limbo and each generation get successively poorer, apart from an oligarchy at the top who creams off most of the wealth.
It's happening already.
If you have kids best thing you can do is teach them a useful foreign language so they can leave.

Luckily English is a good first language to have.

Britain's most successful export? Educated, skilled and trained people.

I doubt they have one. None of the parties does AFAIK.
They just have different ideas about how they will divide the existing too-small cake.

Hardly since the Asians are ahead in that too. We just send dross like Suity and Lord Ha Ha abroad.

I thought you were banging on about UKIP not having one and yet you admit that none of the other parties have one

and you call me dumb!!
