El Cid Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just listening to a radio program about the foot n mouth crisis, and wondering how much these crises' have cost over the years. The miners strike, the lack of bank regulation; how much did they cost the country, any other big ****-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassity Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 We obviously need a military coup to sort all these crisis out...or the death penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just listening to a radio program about the foot n mouth crisis, and wondering how much these crises' have cost over the years. The miners strike, the lack of bank regulation; how much did they cost the country, any other big ****-ups? Didn't the NHS spend a few billion on a crappy computer system? Or the bird flu (or whatever) jabs about 6-7 years ago, when we were all going to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 UK GDP is almost £2trillion/year. Total government spending is over £700billion/year. The annual NHS budget is over £130billion/year. Waste is bad. Loss is bad. But lets have a sense of proportion when we talk about national scale issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
