    The future of the UK?

    Forget the march of the makers; Britain's future is in finance - Telegraph

    I thought the future was immigration and never ending house price rises?

    If it is finance, I hope the government will remember that finance is "Wimbledonized". The game takes place in the UK but the big players are foreign. They are off-shoring more and more. That's not just IT and MO/BO. Hedge funds have a lot of traders in tax havens.

      As finance is the regional industry of London, no London based govt. will ever allow it to go into decline. They simply don't want decline on their doorstep.

      Come election time, Westminster suddenly remembers that steel and electricity are good things to have, and that London, mighty as it is, is just one town, housing a small minority of UK polulation and business.

          It was Opium, in the past, so, no worries with flushing through a little dirty money

            Why not turn the UK into a tax haven, then we could be a centre of excellence for money laundering and corporate HQs
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              That sorts London out. What about the rest of us?

                    This!

                    I always wondered why QE never turned into inflation. It seems to be because its all gone to tax havens.
