    Must see Image: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance.../qehistory.jpg

    Not really, they're jumping ship.

        No.

        Back in the 1950s there were insufficient people to do the work in the factories, mines and shipyards and we had to have a big immigration programme to get all the work done.

        We're not going to have that problem this time.

          It is a pretty line though. Where's it heading? It's not often you see nice vertical lines of that length of almost mathematically purity and markedly prettier than all the other fluctuations shown in the last 200 years on that graph.
