Then all of sudden they didn't.
For the whole of this millennium, this country has been living off unsustainable debt of various kinds. All we're seeing is people piling up card/unsecured loans and spend-spend-spending. Interest rates will boost the pound until the merde hits the fan as mortgage rates rise.
When will the next crash be? Who knows?Comment

In Britain you vote for the government and therefore the government has to listen to you, and if you don’t like it you can change it. But in Europe all the key positions are appointed, not elected – the Commission, for example. All appointed, not one of them elected.
And I also changed my mind because leaving the EU was clearly - to anyone with an ounce of intelligence - going to be an economic car crash, so pragmatism seemed a better course of action. I must admit that I did underestimate quite how much the UK government would screw it up. It brings to mind Captain Blackadder:
Well, you've come to the right place, Bob. A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, high chief of all the vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.Comment
