What do you mean chin up?

Do you want to do a little experiment?

Open up a little shop, does not matter what you sell and then close it for 3 months and come back and tell us how much you sold in the 3 months you were closed.

Someone's a teeny weeny bit triggered by the looks of it

Try reaching Australia on a dingy boat from France...

There is probably a great market for building electric submarines that could carry cargo long distance and move autonomously from A to B.

[DimPrawn]

We would need you to give that a go.

I know Australia wouldn't take me, but Britain has very low standards

[Old Greg]

That seems to be the remoaner hand wringing Liberal viewpoint.

Try emigrating to Australia as an unskilled, uneducated person with no money and let me know how you get on....

Though to be fair you have found 2nd solution - move into the middle of nowhere, 12 hour flights to go on holiday anywhere other than New Zealand, lots of deadly insects, crocodiles, snakes - yeah, BUT you'll have less of them unskilled, uneducated immigrants.

Did I miss anything?

If not then feck off to Australia, I hear VB6 is a shortage occupation there, so you will fit right in with your Clipper skills.

The only way to stop low skilled immigration is to become as poor as the countries these people come from

We aren't supposed to say it of course (racist!) but mass low skilled immigration has been a major factor in supporting an excess of small, low skill businesses. Last labour government nothing to do with that?

Last Labour Govt (before Brown who was placeholder) was awesome - 40% max income tax, taper relief on CGT, 5-6% savings rate in banks, CUK full of witty and insightful posts - what’s not to like?

The only way to stop low skilled immigration is to become as poor as the countries these people come from - I guess Tory Govt might actually achieve that

[xoggoth]

And who run the policy to deindustrialise the country in favour of “services” like pubs?

Wrong forum sad boy.

Isn't it a banning offence, mentioning the B word Specifically In General?

In addition it's not really a Tory Government, more an ERG Government led by someone who seems to have taken cronyism and corruption lessons from dictators abroad.

As has been said above, the main problem is that our economy is far too based on services and low productivity businesses, cafes etc, which have been more severely affected than industrial sectors. Hardly just a Tory problem as we have been heading in that direction for decades.

GDP is an outdated pre-Brexit metric
