    Despite the slightly baity headline, it’s actually a very interesting article about what we need to be doing to dig ourselves out of the hole we’re in (in one author’s opinion, anyway).

    Well worth a read as a primer on recognising all the wrong moves that the government actually will make…

    Some false debates should be put aside. Brexit did not cause all of the UK’s economic problems, but it made almost all of them worse.

    I like this line. Putting lead weights in your shoes alone didn’t make you fall in the river, but it really didn’t help when you did.

      It’s political in that UK politics has put the UK in this position.

          Ah I think I see what you mean, you posted your comment in the wrong community and edited it. I thought you were telling OP this post was in the wrong community.

    Honestly, that sounds like an amazing manifesto. Some political party should adopt it.

    Given our current political class, do we really think ANY of this is achievable? This shower of w**kers are incapable of following through on any of this (and yes, I mean all sides, not just the current incumbents).

    I remember Thatchers government. Evil, yes, but relatively competent. Oxford PPE has a LOT to answer for.
