    When you put the burden on those working it works out more like £100K each.
    What about match selling and chimney sweeping for the young/Tescos for them oldies?

    Blimey, no wonder we're in this mess. Where's the work ethic?

    Umm, I think plenty of people on minimum wage are lucky if they can save £10/month.

    That's only about £12K for each of the UK's residents. In fact it'll only be £10K/each when a few more land on these shores.

    We need another 20,000,000 unknown, unvetted, unskilled, uneducated, non-English speaking people. It's what drives us to the top of the G20 nations.

    started a topic Oh Dear ™ - Government debt even higher than expected

    Oh Dear ™ - Government debt even higher than expected

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8367991.stm

    The UK's public sector net borrowing reached £11.42bn last month, official figures have shown.

    The figure was the highest for the month of October since records began in 1993 and was much higher than economists had expected.

    The ONS said public sector net debt as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) totalled 59.2% in October, also the highest since records began.

    If you want to be the best, if you want to beat the rest, Gordon Brown is what you need. If you want to be.....a record breaker!
