I agree with that point of view. However, our problems remain those of an ageing population, we need more young people to help the aged. Where will we find them?

Their gain is mostly negated by Inflation. What's next then?

We should go for geothermal. It is underdeveloped at the moment and we could be quite good at drilling very deep Wells.

It improves contact with the sprockets for a marginal extra cost. I can see its usefulness on commuters ebikes.

we can only achieve trading surplus when we can produce more for less per capita. That means we must compete against the top producers in the world. We can't do that with free market economy because the smart money will just move to where production cost is lower. We need a clear industrial...

the graph shows the national debt to GDP ratio. Vertical axis is GDP, the scale is 100% GDP, the horizontal axis is time, so you can see our borrowing against our ability to service the debt. You can see that our borrowing levelled at around 30% of our GDP during the membership period 1975-2008...

Both USA and EU have subsidies for EV production. We are too small to go for it alone.

Sunak is the most able from to tory camp. He slowly steadies the deficit. Boris will forever be stuck to his zip wire and Truss still believes in fairies. I wonder what Boris and Truss will do if you give them a defibrillator.

Starmer is less likely to sell whatever left of public assets. That's a good enough reason for me to prefer his team.

The nhs is moving to a multi-tiered system. Already if you go private, you can be better treated at your local hospital than if you don't pay. Someone I know was in that situation, her insurance pays £100 a day for nhs hotel accommodation. My dentist charges some cost to the nhs, the rest is...
