  Far too nice and honourable a man to get mixed up in politics.
  
  Unwilling to face up to economic facts of UK plc and make the difficult and often unpopular choices which might stop us becoming a basket case like Italy and Greece.
  
  Unfortunately we need politicians who will tell us how it is, rather than what we'd all like to hear and carry on giving us stuff we can't afford however much we'd 'like' it, running an ongoing defecit and building up National Debt as a millstone round the neck of future generations.
  
  Remember the interest alone on the National Debt (£ 26.817 for each person in the UK) is costing us over £50 billion a year. Imagine what we could do and afford if it did not exist with an almost extra £1000 to play with for each man, woman,transgender and child in the UK.
  
  Delayed gratification is found experimentally to be more prevalent in more intelligent children and is the reason the 'middle classes' do so well financially (e.g. poor buy Henry vaccuum at BrightHouse to get it 'now' for £260 (APR 99.9%), you borrow neighbours and save and buy from Amazon for £104, and I, being tight get one from British Heart Foundation for £45)
  
  As a nation we act like a thick toddler who wants the sweetie now rather than having two if he/she can hang on for five minutes! (see Stanford marshmallow experiment)
