Cool, I'm glad we're still on the same page on that! So consequently, rescuing the uks economy is not the same importance as ensuring that people here have work that can sustain them, is it? To be clear, the uks economy is based on all sorts of nonsense things like gdp, which is boosted by banking/financial sector stuff that has #### all to do with the rest of us. It might increase the buying power of the U.K. But again, that doesn't affect the rest of us in any meaningful way (unless you believe in trickle down economics which thankfully we don't, because it's a myth). And the uks economy has been doing fine while the majority have been suffering for the past years. There are some of us who think that if the buying power of the state suffered, it might even have the effect of forcing the focus of the rich internally to the labour pool and prices we need to charge to live (or better yet, prompting them to #### off to somewhere else altogether). No doubt, there are myriad ways that can be screwed up too. But the point is, it's neither a bad nor a good thing if the uk economy suffered. Those like dtj who maintain its bad news for the poor seem to be operating under the illusion that it's big money propping up the poor at this point, rather than the other way around. I'd be interested in your point of view. Cheers
