Originally posted by Sysman View PostIt's quite a mind blowing thought. Do you have a link for that?
Funnily enough, whoever wrote the NHS website cannot divide these two numbers and came up with the result "5% of the working population".
Small wonder the organisation place is in such a mess, give patients the wrong doses, and remove the wrong legs...

Originally posted by sasguru View PostYes. The NHS is, indeed, an example of a Soviet system and should be dismantled forthwith, before it collapses under its own weight.
It is the third largest employer in the world (after the Chinese army and Indian railways) and employs 1 in 30 of the Uk population.
All this for a medium sized European country.

Originally posted by Cyberman View PostThere are big differences between Japan and the UK.
Originally posted by Cyberman View PostThe UK is experiencing continued demand for housing whereas Japan's demand is actually reducing.
Originally posted by Cyberman View Post1. Japan has an aging population where the birth rate roughly equals the death rate at 1.5 per 1,000 of population, whereas the UK has a growing birthrate especially among muslims which is now at 3.5 children average per family.
Originally posted by Cyberman View Post2. Japan has virtually no immigration and in fact it could be negative with so many of their population now working abroad. Need I say much about the UK's inept immigration policy that will continue to add demand for housing!!
Originally posted by Cyberman View Post3. The Japan government has a policy of 'suburbanisation' which has meant building affordable housing in the suburbs of major cities which has caused a net fall in population in the cities. The UK government has completely failed to provide affordable housing and so this again adds to UK housing demand.

Originally posted by AtW View PostWhy should I bother refuting points of a guy who suggets that the way out of this crisis is literally printing of money by BoE? I don't know what level of monetary policy is taught in schools in the West, but in ex-USSR we were taught that printing of money results in a serious inflation, closest real life example of that is Zimbabwe, something that I pointed out to him sometime ago but to no avail. If anyone is a commie without clue in economics here it is him - I know since commies in Russia were making Govt print that money and it leads to hyperinflation when prices double every month.
And stop yakking. I really think you Soviets are incapable of individual thought.

Originally posted by sasguru View PostI notice you don't counter Cyberman's very valid points. Because, probably, right or wrong, they are the product of some individual thinking, rather than regurgitating Economics 101 circa 1950.

Tesco is tacky. It makes ASDA look posh. Morrisons is the best overall (Waitrose is too small and I'd say too expensive).
