This country cannot afford current Government expenditure to the sum of about £250bn per year. Until  government spending is brought under control this country will carry on going steadily bankrupt with a £125bn deficit per year. By 2015 our debts will have gone up from 85% to 100% of GDP, once they are above 90% you are getting into default territory. The UK will lose its AAA rating this year and now QE has stopped Gilt prices are dropping, so our Gilt interest rates are now higher than that basket case economy France.

This may be the start of our own Sterling crisis or we maybe able to kick the can as far as 2017-18, but it is not a question of if but when. The Government's response will be more QE to fund the deficit, which will fuel inflation, so our drop in real wages which is already at an average of 13.2% since 2007 will accelerate. Those on fixed incomes or pensions will face a very bleak future.

Heavy energy intensive industry like steel making, oil refining, cement making, sugar making will be moving increasingly off-shore to the US, China etc from April when the most onerous carbon taxes in the world are imposed upon UK industry to de-industrialise de-carbon the country. This will help extend our economic depression through loss of revenue to the UK, smaller taxes revenues, increased unemployment, benefits payments, and Government deficits, but apparently such sacrificial offerings make the high priests of the yogurt knitting, tree hugging green religion very happy. Apparently such regular sacrifices and the building of vast numbers of Government subsidized religious icons called wind power generators, keeps one of their gods called 'Polar Bear' happy. Now if people want to practice such religions that is up to them, but I strongly object to it being subsidized by my taxes and peoples ability to earn a living being destroyed. 

It is only when there is a real review of Government spending and real Government cuts, followed by tax cuts, will the UK start to get out of its current economic mess.

We need a real spending review and a serious debate on what public services should do within a £500bn or less capped budget. With all of the main three parties currently looking and expanding spending and the building of further public sector empires, this country is doomed economically. 

The current round of political food and booze pronouncements, on telling us what we must or mustn't eat or drink, has as much relevance to our current situation as that mad cow Botox faced president has on harping on about the Falklands and that saving the Argentinean economy from collapse.

capitalists .. no surprise they abuse even our taste by selling high sugar and salt foods..

In a capitalist state, you have a choice whether or not to buy food which is high in sugar and/or salt.

In a socialist state, you get what you're given.

in a capitalist state they sell you the same ready crap food at different prices.. in a socialist state you can find neither sugar nor fast food    (ps: this was before capitalism invaded those countries)

Ah, but how many obese politicians and other 'advisors' are there? Seems to me that those who would try to incite others to lose weight are generally very overweight or even obese or worse themselves!
I would not mind so much if those giving the advice were slim and healthy or even fractionally overweight but to have it it stuck to you by an elephantine lump is ridiculous. That is what happened to me on the last few visits to the clinic I attend. Let those who give the advice lead by example and that does not mean a single person it means the whole organisation or political party

If I may say so Rod2 an excellent summary of the situation, couple with identification of what is required to transpire if we are to escape complete ruination.

I dont know what made you think that Labour ever got off the Nanny state band wagon after inventing it.

That won't come from any of our self serving politicians and parties. It will ONLY come from Brussels after Britain unravels and needs a bail out. At that time one of the conditions of course will be adopting the Euro. Less than five years time. At least they will install a puppet leader and our elected officials can then busy themselves with the minutae. fat in food, salt in food, getting hospitals to actually do their job properly. It might actually be a good thing..........
