Being born in one of the wealthiest countries in the world doesn’t give us a right to continued wealth and economic growth. I think it’s daft to expect that tbh…
Globalisation is the underlying force in our economic situation – previously poor countries are getting wealthier and more politically powerful. I’m not sure what’s wrong with that really. It’s certainly better for them, no?
It’s also beyond UK government to really mitigate against such a shift in the balance of global power.
Labour helped get us in this mess, Tories may be stopping it getting worse or maybe making it worse. Empirically it’s impossible to tell really but I know the UK isn’t like Spain, Greece or Portugal so we could certainly be in a much worse place than we are.
Seems to me best approach is like the bottom of a hard climb. Head down, positive attitude and dig in… Sitting at the bottom wishing it wasn’t there or blaming the bike doesn’t help a huge amount…
