Too easy a scapegoat. Industrial decline (and loss of Empire) has been on-going since the end of WW1......even Thatch wasn't around then.
..and these points are relevant because if we are to succeed in a post Brexit world our utterly clueless politicians need to put the expansion of our industrial and commercial capability to take global market share on a war footing......and I'm seeing zero signs of that..... Hoping for the best ain't gonna cut it.
hmm, dunno, while she was only reacting to circumstances, overly powerful unions, and a v.British attitude to modernizing, ie, non. and watching some of the threads on here about future tech, nothing has really changed. she had a great deal of wealth flowing from the north sea at that time, she also knew there was at least 40years of oil left at that time. she and her neoliberal ideology are ultimately to blame. it takes gazzilions to set up heavy industry, not to mention experienced staff to work them, dude, on a uk level, those days are well gone.
I must have missed it when you 'came out' , Ex. And I thought you were a full blooded male who liked the foreign ladies. I've never been an Outer. And never will be.
I rarely take the words of an economist seriously,(does anyone,apart from politicians and those with axe to grind?),but I’ll give this one the benefit of the doubt.
Its OK, that EUROSCEPTIC economist only has half a brain anyway.............its obviously the thinking and common sense half he is missing.
It is simple mathematics dude - no need for an expert, I thought of you when I was writing half a brain thinking you were well short of that, stop being so bitter and twisted about your retirement plans and selfish attitude - the EU will still have you
Bitter and twisted? No mate i'm past giving a fuck. This Country is finished. It lives so far in the past its laughable.
You believe the ravings of an opinionated scribbler in an EU supporting rag but dismiss the considered conclusions of an eminent and respected economic expert? I’m amazed....not surprised,but amazed...
