To be fair, Vince Cable makes a lot of sense when you hear him interviewed.  On Northern Wreck he was one of the few who seemed to have any vision other than blind panic.

Its their far left policies in general and the perpetual superior 'I know best' smirk that their people always seem to have on their faces that I don't get on with..

How the hell did numpty badger get put in charge of the economy?

Don't the opposition realise that their mistake will backfire when they get into power.

If Brown appointed badger - well that beggars belief

The current Government is just moving with the wind, having lost direction and any ability to have any command over a situation which is in the hands of all the modern factors of gobalisation in terms of all market trading and the ecomomics of the major countries of the planet.

For any British government now to gain control, they require leadership of Churchillian proportions, with enlightened imagination, a very strong will to bring about massive change, and the utter commitment to drive us all out of this mess.  As during WWII, it will be very painful, with tax rises, curtailing of all workers and public sector pay deals, with perhaps rationing of certain fuel imports to reduce the national trade imbalance deficiency.

A new social capitalist system is also demanded, whereby our major industries are fully taxed to pay, with no off shore loopholes, for a major national restructure of the educational system that will be a true meritocracy, then a employee training / re-training scheme especially for the 16 - 25 year old age group. Integral and crucial to this plan should be the development of new industrial initiatives to build a industry that can compete with the rest of the world and always takes full advantage of any opportunities that arise by ensuring the workforce is multi-skilled can meet the challenge.  

Our industrial base, with 21st century industries, must be rebuilt to reverse the nations reliance on the service industry.  A new British 'Industrial Revolution' is required in the areas we could excel in within this modern globalised world.

This will take pain, hardship, hard work and many tears over a prolonged time period, with much sacrifice by all British citizens in a social endevour to re-take control over our destiny to produce a country that is again a world leader with great pride and political purpose for all, not just a minority as now, within a complete Great Britain of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that has full soverienty over its affairs, but as a partner within Europe.

Does anyone identify any politician with the strength of character, personal desire, the imagination, let alone the utter commitment to lead us in such revolutionary politics and give the citizens a new exciting focus of endevour?  I don't!

I was just going to say that Crikey Lizzie, you know your stuff and no mistake What you say is true though. I remember my old History teacher at school saying about the Industrial Revolution, "The only way to create wealth is to manufacture". How right he was/is! In an economy based on service industries, the wealth is only going to be shoveled around from pillar to post.

What is even more worrying is the fact that relations with Russia are so hostile... such disagreements can wipe out countries with such nuclear capabilities...

There speaks someone who didn't live through the 'what to do in case of nuclear strike' leaflets sent out by governement to households in the 70s

LOL yes, I remember those. Take all the doors off their hinges and make yourself a cubby hole under the stairs to hide in for 3 months. break that! I'd have been watching the firework display. Especially given my prioximity to Farnborough, Aldershot, Aldermaston, Burghfield, Greenham Common, Portsmouth, etc. No arrangement of bin liners and cardboard-filled tacky 70's veneer doors would have saved me for 3 seconds let alone 3 months.
