There are plenty of problems here in the UK but as of yet the fruitcake socialists haven't had control of the economy.

No- but sadly the 'free market is king' fruitcakes have control instead, and are busy selling off anything that isn't nailed down. As the East Coast Main Line fiasco, Birmingham Prison scandal, Carillion etc show, turns out privatisation isn't always the best option... Still, the taxpayer can pick up the tab for sorting it all out, before handing it right back to G4S again. Great stuff!

If we were discussing debt, corruption, crime, censorship, one of the worlds least democratic countries, would that be Venezuela or the UK? You're not comparing like with like. The reason Venezuela doesn't have the levels of debt the UK has is because no right-minded Bank would risk lending money to such a basket-case of a country. Personal debt is low because no-one accepts or uses credit card payments and no international credit card company would want to risk it. Cash is king. Well, when I say cash, I mean the US dollar. Venezuela's lack of high debt (compared to the UK) isn't necessarily an example of a responsible fiscal policy.

I tried to pay for an orange in the local SPAR with a million Zim note and waiting for change...and the cashier just looked at me...only to then open the cash register and show me that mine was the only note in there! I left a carrier bag full of cash when i left as I couldnt carry it over the border to Zambia! Shame you didn't keep some. The 100 trillion dollar notes ($100,000,000,000,000) cost 20p to £1 and are worth £20-£100 each now.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |
