Now, round the back of his place where the Stratford shopping center now sits and the London stadium was built, that was different deal. It defined urban decay for me as a kid. |

Always the same in the public sector, has been for decades. It is VERY easy to waste other people's money, especially if you have no personal comeback. Education, NHS, roads, local services, benefits....you name it; they waste it. It has been getting worse for years, as power, the media backlash and politics are more important to them than providing decent public services. Governments contracts have been a 'licence to print money' for many years. It's not going to change by voting differently. |

Have a look at our GDP to debt ratio (85%) budget deficit (23 years and counting), trade deficit (27 years and counting) you seem to think that GDP = cash in the bank it doesn't, then have a look at the forward liabilities the government/country has vs the cash it can raise. And please don't point to other countries like Japan who also run large GDP to debt ratios as you'll just double down on your ignorance of the matter, Truss found out just how broke we are when she tried to borrow a few billion...the market said no, interest rates soared and the pension funds needed a bail out, that's how far we've fallen. There isn't one facete of our national life that isn't going backwards or crumbling to dust (literally) massive bank account lol
