The last few posts show why the UK is deteriorating fast

It's going to take a huge effort from people not yet in power, nor ever have been, to turn it around over the next 60 to 100 years.

1000 years to catch up to the likes of Chinese, for infrastructure etc

I don't think net immigration numbers will be an issue for much longer. But that's does require the advanced countries to welcome the numbers wanting to leave here

For most people, give us Xi and the amazing country any day

Another 10 years, be nothing in the uk only a few leftys trying to stop boats 😂

I can't see the near term solution

Indeed, taxation will be in the stratosphere by year 4. I suspect at the start of a second term, income taxes etc will go up a lot as well

And still no decent services to show for it.

The UK most likely now has a retired wealthy, that will move away

Current working millionaires, getting out

And universities creating new skills, for other countries

You forgot Abbott, she's getting involved in illegal boat crossings here she's exploring the possibilities of deploying tungsten carbide nets to foul the outboard motors and sonic wave machines!

Without economic growth, our country cannot succeed. No growth means, axiomatically, that no one in society can get a real-terms salary increase without someone else being paid less.It means that aspiration is crushed and our society becomes dog eat dog. Capital that must be accumulated to start up new businesses won't be accumulated. Businesses that don't grow will wither and die because they don't accumulate the resources to beat their competition (particularly from abroad).And a no-growth economy isn't static; it sooner or later shrinks, because the unceasing demands of voters at each general election, never strong on deferring gratification, mean that politicians who want to be elected promise (and as often as not deliver) more money, more stuff; and in the absence of growth to pay for this largesse, put taxes up, higher and higher.Growth (and particularly growth per capita, the most important metric) has collapsed in the UK and the European Union, while countries in other parts of the world have motored ahead, with much higher growth rates than ours. Why? Because social democracy, their chosen political approach, is inimical to economic growth.....Daily Telegraph
