      The uk used to lead the world at manufacturing but it fell behind. I see no reason to think the financial services industry won't follow suit, especially as the primary cost is people and they are very expensive in london. The cash cow that is the population of britain has been bled dry, it's all downhill from this point i'm afraid.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        And that is why you're an impoverished, itinerant IT jobber - your analytical and predictive skills are not the best.

          It's just white noise these days IDGAS.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            I'm not sure yours are all that sharp. Judging by your efforts to qualify for membership, you seem to have decided the classless society is some sort of exclusive club for individuals such as yourself.

                So approx 2% of City jobs will be lost?
                Hmmm, seems quite a robust sector to me.

                  I don't believe in the classless society, not with my aristicratic roots.
                  If my lot were in charge, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.
