UK economy
If you don't know, much debate has been raging on here about the UK's economy. There are those who firmly believe that the UK is, to put it in the words of Frazer from Dad's Army, ''doomed''. Others are more optimistic.
What do you think? |

What do you think? It's fine for some individuals (and maybe for the individual who responded fine, everything is lovely), but nationally, I can't find any sensible rationale to say it's "fine". |

Anyone who thinks the economy is currently fine must be deluded, by any standard of a "fine economy" (unless you are including third world standards).

Re: UK economy
As no one has opted for ''the UK is doomed'' option thus far I assume that BAY, hereandthere and Renth have yet to offer their votes.

Re: UK economy
yeah, but, having lived through those changes in NZ, it was painful and difficult. Lots of people who formally had government jobs were out of work as the government cut spending and that hurt race relations among other thngs. Health spending was cut, we had to start paying for doctors apppointments, all that kinds of stuff effects your quality of life.
Was it the right thing? Yes. But it was not easy. Considering the way people on MBBTUK hark back fondly to the NHS and the easy welfare now, I don't think big cuts to those things are going to be popular. But was it worth it? Yes. It took a long time, though, for things to improve. |
