Now that the UK is in danger of losing it's AAA credit rating, is it time to try a different tactic? One that encourages growth rather than hinders it. A trained chimp can tell you that austerity is not the way to go to encourage growth so why can't the Coalition see that?
Unfortunately Sam it's the same old story, they would rather the general public pick up the pieces of our shattered economy, as long as they are not losing out bugger the rest of us. The quicker we all understand that each and every party is as bad as each other, the quicker we can try and do something about it.
We should form a militia group and start a revolution. That is the only way we will get real change because we have to vote for someone at election time and they are all the same.
Militia, Revolution.. , the way i see it, is that if no bugger voted, it would send the appropriate message, not like they could throw us all in gaol, if the current overcrowding is anything to go by. But your right in the fact that it will never happen, they have all been importing the votes for years anyway.
If I bring home grand a week, but my life style is chewing up 1200, do I borrow to keep going, or do I limit my spending?
Two simple ways to 'solve' all of Britains problems: 1. Use the £50billion the Bank of England are going to give to the big banks for something worthwhile, maybe build a couple of tidal barrages accross the river Severn or Mersey, these would create about 20% of all the electricity the UK needs and their building would create about 50,000 jobs, or just build ANYTHING, the money would be far better spent creating jobs rather than shoring up failing banks. 2. Legalise cannabis, this would create many 10s of thousands of jobs, all of which would be tax paying, instead of the current farce we have where there are a similar amount of dealers, none of whom pay tax, add to this the revenue raised in the same way they do for tobacco and we can add quite a few billion more to the nations coffers every year.
The UK National debt stood at 1,004 billion pounds in 2011. This is not a problem that can be slated home to the banks or any other so called bad boys. A lot of the borrowing went into Health and Education. The global recession cut tax revenue, and drove up the welfare costs. Building went down the toilet, meaning a huge loss in stamp duties. There is no easy answer to the problem. The UK was once a powerhouse, the power has moved on. It went to the US. It went to Japan. It's now crossed onto mainland Asia. India awaits.
Yep, I'm a treehugging hippy, but in my defence, not only do I want to solve the nations debt problems, I also want to see every tax-dodging thief have all their assets seized and added to the public purse and they themselves, publicly flogged until dead. See, I'm just a peace lovin dude who happens to understand the worlds problems
