[QUOTE="RagnarHairybreeks, post: 4477730, member: 74246"] Success and GDP are not inextricably linked. For example 10% directly of our income is from the City of London (under threat) and another big chunk is North Sea oil (running out). We've got very little in the way of natural resources, manufacturing is at an almost all time low (and most of what is left is owned by overseas companies, usually with huge tax breaks as it puts employment in place in areas that need it). Farming can't apparently survive without subsidies and we import a hell of a lot more than we export. Where is the wealth [U]creation[/U]? Not trying to cast a huge downer on all this, just really can't understand where all the optimism is coming from. [/QUOTE]
