Immigration causes an increase in activity and growth, yet with record immigration we are still in recession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every public service is in peril and have striking or impending striking staff. mass unemployment is forecast. we are reliant on crippling energy prices. we’ve decimated almost all large industry and exporters and our economy is reliant mainly on a London based financial market which is also struggling. give us a couple of positives and maybe I’ll reconsider…..

And some believe that Labour has the magic wand to put this mess right, only a government consisting of members of all parties has any chance of silencing the bickering and digging us out of this self made mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared with what the amount of money down the drain trying to unsuccessfully suppress Covid (whilst at the same time trashing our freedoms like never before in history), it is small change indeed. No, the economic situation is bad, and it will get even worse, unemployment to go up next I feel sure. The only reason we did not have a massive depression and high unemployment in 2020 was the many Billions they pumped into the economy then. But the bill is here now : huge inflation and a humungous government debt. This was all pre-ordained from spring 2020 but it will be even worse than predicted then because the suppression of society and the economy went on far longer than feared, and then Ukraine.

I agree. It's time to stop the bickering (both internal and external) and pull together. Time for a coalition government on a war cabinet footing to stop the rot and actually DO something. I'd start by getting the tax owed by the big corporations. Edited December 2, 2022 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
