The costs of servicing the eye-watering debts that this way of operating inevitably leads to cripples the Treasury on an ongoing basis.
New Labour, and Gordon Brown in particular, hocked the country up to the eyeballs before finally being turfed out in 2010.
Now had they not left this profligate legacy then it may have freed up a lot more cash to be invested in things like the NHS.
But as I said, it gets quite complex. I can almost sense you rocking back and forth as the penny starts to drop.

Shouldn't they be receiving foreign aid from China, France, ..., in return for giving them all the work building UK power plants and the like? That is how foreign aid really works.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Yes, it's important to lower the cost of living which is mainly aggravated by cost of living and the wage rates. How this problem is to be tackled by the government, I have no idea but something needs to be done soon.Comment
