The post you are reporting:
Well in which case, Ross, this expressed view of mine is for real.
To defend it, apart from referring to mentioned articles, such as the one Howard linked to, and the previous one about skilled workers that may soon be made redundant on a large scale nationally, it is also worth mentioning the high unemployment rate among young people in Britain: over 22% tendency increasing, with no outlook for things improving in the economy, but rather set to get worse.
Spain, another EU country, has over 50% youth unemployment (16-24 years).
The national debt is going up here and in many an EU country (see also bailouts: Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain + suspected imminent bailouts that no country can afford to finance, such as the looming financial collapse of Italy).
Then we have private debts: Britain had an estimated £3 trillion private debt 2 years ago, but it has steadily gone up, as more people are falling into this vicious circle, out of desperation, and, owing to the banks' refusal to give out loans unless they are sure they will get them back with the interest, so many people are falling into the shark loan scene (37% interest a month or even 4000% interest a year!).
Desperation, Ross! Collapse of a system!
And then there are the spending cuts, and the progressive lay-off of 700.000 public sector workers in Britain that no private sector can absorb.
Now where is the spoof in my well-minded economic ideology?
I'm simply presenting a strategy to create employment.
My point is, local Administration is better placed to find work for local people, who they know personally, who live in the same town or village, and to assess what economic production could be introduced, which training courses are needed, and to make sure that no employer in their designated area is applying unfair methods of discrimination, such as employing almost only non-British workers.
Unless we take this road of law and order in the economy, we shall degenerate even more into a bankrupt society.
Meanwhile, the Central Government needs to put a halt on super-bonuses and reckless banking, such as the Libor scandal to give one example, and start to seriously reign in the bankers and the chief executives in general, such as those of the FTSE 100 too, who simply invent their wages as they go along and become multi-millionaires before a simple Shire peasant (such as myself) can say Jack Robinson.
These chief executives are gobbling up tens of billions of pounds a year in our Country in bonuses alone, notwithstanding the fact that they already have given themselves top wages (£300.000+ a year).
The "elite greedy pigs" thread is an expression of many views of local Dovorians, and some of us tend to have a social(ist) tendency.
Barry states that these views do not belong here, but perhaps Barry has forgotten the fact that its original author crated it so we can read many views.
So where is the spoof?
