Bring back spitting image.

 

Where on earth are they? There is a scramfurious amount of material out there right now begging to be used.

I think the Spitting Image guys just know they can't make anything up that is more ridiculous than what is reality.

Are people just becoming so lazy, feckless, spoilt, and self-centred in general that they are becoming ungovernable?

Are brits very different from other Europeans?

 

Plenty of European counties appear to have moderate governments who dont appear to lurch from crisis to crisis but maybe we are different?

At the same time you could ask about guilts/government bonds.

 

Are these owed by foreign companies or by people in the UK, as I presume historically it was UK owned and atleast any profits stayed within the country.

You’d think the economic experts of this parish would have the answers.

It's one of those questions that need answering. A return to old financial values, I'm not a beating the drum nationalise everything type.

 

But surely if the trains for example are back in public ownership, allow it to run as a private company and allow it to invest in say other infrastructure and slowly buy back say the water companies etc.

Has borrowing to fund tax cuts ever worked? Genuine this time.

I guess the country and its finances are so ****************ed we literally have to borrow to reduce tax take off one particular group !!!!. That same group would still be paying 40-41% tax on their earnings. 

When you actually stop and think about that you realise what a knife edge things are on and how far we are effected by the whims of the markets.
