The possibility of major economic chaos in the UK

Did your sums for you. As you seem to think that 20 million of savings will plug a 100 million gap in the public finances.

Interesting that your first and only thought was to reach for google and you took the top result without considering whether it had any meaning in context. Sign of the times I suppose.

I think you are missing a nought

Easy situation to resolve: EU membership inc. bailouts of most other EU countries = £56 million per day x 365 = £20,440,000,000 - debt interest repayments £21 billion per year. Repeal human rights laws stopping claims on the public purse from prisoners, illegal immigrants etc and you're just about sorted

Am I the only one who thought this was meant more as a tongue in cheek whimsical comment rather than a serious, deeply thought out economic suggestion?

I tend to have all my serious and deep thoughts in A&L - thought I'd venture over for a bit of frivolity. So, that went well then

Particularly from people who's main debating weapon is the cliche

The main problem for the UK economy is the crippling amount of interest on the government debt. The BOE could print the £1,000 billion that would cover the debt, loan this to a uk bank (preferably one that is mainly taxpayer owned) who could in turn lend it back to the government and 0.05% interest which would save billions on the annual interest repaid.

Ah welcome back Monsieur Cliche.

You still here?
