I have just heard the Tory Chancellor Osborne tell the TV viewers "everything is all right". What planet is Osborne on??? We still have factories and shops closing, unemployment rising, money as scarce as jobs.
True the British Government have ways in concealing true unemployment numbers. How else would the number of unemployed not equate with those on job seeker allowance. So that is fiddle number one for the Government through statistics.
The reality is that our High Streets have empty shops, factories closed, because the government offers contracts abroad, instead of protecting British Industry, like the Italians, Germans and French do. Most of our manufacturing base has long been allowed to die. It was replaced by a corrupt greedy financial service industry that Gordon Brown permitted to produce a Monopoly money economy and then the bubble burst and the banks were bankrupt.
Now we the ordinary people are paying for the mistakes the rich made, and the rich are impervious to their misdemeanours, the poor are poorer. If you have a job , you are lucky to hold onto it.
In the Great Depression , we built our way out of trouble, with houses, roads and infrastructure. Today, yesterday and tomorrow, we have to see it out and there is no plan, no way out, except cut cut cut expenditure, and no growth no building, no better tomorrow.
We never had it so bad.
In the 30's we built our way out. Building homes, creates movement of population, stimulates supply and demand. People want new things for the home, furniture, paint, plants all this creates wealth and cash flow, jobs and taxes. This UK Government have no ides.
