That's the joy of a 'service based' economy where no-one makes anything, but just adds their costs and passes it on, swamping our competitiveness into a downward spiral as we buy everything from overseas, or export the share dividends for all the public and utility businesses we sold to the French, Spanish and Germans and Yanks. That's why we have a £50bn gap p.a. in what we buy and sell overseas. That's money we export rather than investing in ourselves. HS2? £50bn, trains German, rails and infrastructure French and German, consultancy/software, Yanks. Trident $100bn straight to the Yanks. They must all be peeing themselves for having our pants down so easily. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
I've no great confidence in the Labour shadow cabinet, but the likes of May, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and Amber Rudd? Blood and sand. I wouldn't trust them with organising the Church Fete. Is that really the very best we can do, really??
Oh well, 'strong and stable' government it is, so long as they are supported by the votes of a few fanatical idiots.
