Keith - people should be saving as well as spending for one thing, instead of borrowing for everything.
Your logic though just does not work and you can see it in practise. Protectionism does not work. If you want growth and jobs then you must remove some risks and if you protect jobs there will be fewer jobs full stop. Imports will fill the demand gap in your job protectionist scenario as businesses will look at places other than the UK to expand.

Keith - your is an argument for continuous decline. We need grows and today's news is backing what I have said so many times that not enough firm action has been taken by Osborne to get the burden of government down and to boost growth. Governments never create wealth and jobs all they can do is get the climate right for businesses to do that and you will not achieve this with the risks and costs that you want to impose. Talk to employers and businesses, use common sense - de-risking employing people by making it easier to sack them and reducing costs will actually enhance overall job prospects.

Well, not unnaturally Barry, the opposite is true.
It is the fact that the working population (whether in or out of work) is seen as a liability and not valued as an asset that brings us to our present sorry pass.
It is the love of money that has replaced the once proud boast that Britain Works.
There are now far too few risks associated with money-making-money that makes it appear that employing people is too risky.
The numbers of idle-rich have ballooned over the last thirty years and it is the avaricious jealousy of these coffer-cuddlers that holds the nation back.
Too many loud-mouthed middle-men that have the ear of their principal group in Parliament and the fancy that what is good for them (at all costs) is good for the country and for the nation as a whole. More trickle-down bilge!
Money is a MEANS and not an END and if you do not use it you should lose it.
"We are, each and all, in this together."
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

I take it then Tom that you have never risked your own money and home by starting, or expanding, a business. It is easy to talk the way you do.

Tom is right, too many idle-rich have stored away money. They don't use it, they should lose it.
Confiscation of the surplus wealth of the super-rich!

Murdoch,in revenge,has started to open up all guns on Cameron.........it will not be pretty............

Cameron is under siege. Not only Murdoch, but now Sky News is operating investigations into scams which the Government seem complacent in. Sky published yesterday the case of a "trusted" London college selling false certificates to immigrants, who then become "qualified people" and stay on in Britain, not ever having attended a college.
Cameron is a weak leader, he has not come to grips with any major problem, it's mostly just clap-trap and spending cuts.
