The country seems to be falling apart at the seams.
What with Chubber tongue Brown ruining the country day by day by throwing our money (yes, you and me) at failing businesses and then letting them carry on with their bad business practices. Attempts at stimulating the economy with interest rate cuts (good for me thank you very much), reduction in VAT (bad for business), printing more money (devaluing the pound further) and yet he keeps on encouraging people to borrow more, to buy what they want without the real understanding of the consequence of getting into further debt.
The banks basically lent the money out and got us into further hot water.
The answer? The current ones aren't working and perhaps a more radical idea is needed. An entrepreneur I know suggested something radical and I think it could work. He says to cut debt, in half or a percentage to release everyone back out of the cycle of debt. Not be paid off by bail outs, the banks actually are forced to write it off. It's happening with bankruptcy's and defaults anyway so why not stop the painful process of bankruptcy and give people a chance to solve it themselves. There are several forums posts on Pistonheads regarding this
And whats with the weather? A week an a bit of snow? The country is not geared up for such weather. Now the debate is whether or not we should invest in infrastructure. Er No. This happening is so infrequent that the amount of money lost is so much less than the potential spend to ready our infrastructure.
Please won't someone get these eejits out of parliament
