Barry, repaying the Public Debt has to be an essential economic policy for our Country.
The only way for this to come about, and to prevent a new Debt building up, is to bring about accountability.
The current centralised State does not practise accountability, and as I've mentioned in the past, we are paying tens of billions a year on interest to service the Debt.
And whenever a slice of Debt is paid off, an even larger amount of Debt is taken on. And the interest goes up and up....
The people presently holding the reins of authority simply have no intention of appreciating any form of productive incentive that would create employment and income, thus they are not allowing millions of people to exit the state of benefit-dependency and improve their life-style and income.
One reason why Labour got in, is because they promised British jobs for British people. They lied.
This was a right-wing policy, and they got the vote. But they did the exact opposite.
Your 100% "the Government should mind their own business" theory is a loser, Barry, because the masses of people in reality want a Government that represents the interests of our Country and People, that puts limits on what the free enterprise managers can do. A large part of our industry and agriculture has been taken out of the sphere of British employment, and either transferred abroad, or given to seasonal workers from elsewhere.
That is where the benefit system becomes over-burdened and the retail economy slides downwards, and it is where the Public Debt spirals out of control.
What we need is local economic administrative authority in each district and county to get people into the available spheres of employment, offering training courses and monitoring how employers recruit people.
However, it seems the Conservative party is now heading us all towards the next phase: mass Bulgarians coming soon!
It's over, Barry! That party has left us with only one certainty: they will not get in again!
