Info from an article in the Times about ‘Soviet Britain’ inspired this blog. More like ‘The Brown Supremacy’ to me. He’s already brought out loads of banks in the country so now they are state owned, at least partially. Looks like he’s moving on to the rest of the country now.
This alarming article in the UK’s Times newspaper online states that in some areas of the UK the business private sector is only responsable for a third of that areas economy. Even here in the south east where I live the public sector accounts for 36% of the economy. ‘State owned’ Britain could become a scary reality as labour steadily pour tax payers cash in to creating more jobs.
I’ve always wondered why do public sector employees pay tax in the first place? Why not just pay then a lower wage instead of the ‘above private sector’ wages they get now. Oh, of course! Why streamline government when you can be inefficient & create more jobs! Is this part of ‘The Brown Supremacy’? Have Labour been slowly & stealthily setting up better paid jobs as part of a plan to effectivly buy the next election?
What happens when theres no more private sector cash coming in? You can’t keep robbing Peter to pay Paul. Let’s not forget that the more state owned this country becomes it also becomes less of a democracy. We’ve already seen evidence of this with Gordon Browns refusal to give us a referendum on Europe (by what ever new name they call it now).
There are already talks of the Government buying forclosed properties to offer as ‘social housing’ or council housing as most of us know it. 2009 is likely to see the highest numer of reposessed homes for decades as rising unemployment really starts to bite. Up to 500,000 UK home owners are close to defauling on their mortgage or are under special last chance arrangements already because careless banks, only interested in profit, sold them mortages they could not afford. This gave the home owners little chance of being able to save for a rainy day. I think the 75,000 homes being reposessed quote is an optimistic figure & will probably be higher.
This means if you get a council house Labour hope you will be thankful & vote for them at the next election.
This can’t be allowed to happen. It’s always the private sector that drives an economy because most private sector business runs as streamlined as possible. Now though even profitable businesses could fail as they can’t get even small bank loans to cover the time it takes for for invoices to be paid so they can keep paying their staff. Wasn’t it only 18 months ago Gordon Brown was trumpeting on about how Labour had brought an end to ‘boom & bust’?
An end to boom & bust is impossible. Nature moves in cycles. Lets just hope we’ve learnt our lesson about living in debt. When the next ‘boom’ starts in 2 or 3 years I’m going to make sure I save like never before to make sure I can survive the next ‘bust’ because right now I’m scared I won’t be able to keep up with the payments on my personal debt as my tiling work steadily dries up.
I’ve been struggling to keep up with my repayments so I have bugger all saved for this rainy day. I’ve never claimed benefits in my life & don’t want to. I also don’t want to be forced into declaring bankruptcy as I’ve spent the last 5 years trying to do the right thing & pay off my debt while trying to survive the extortionate cost of living here in the UK. I just don’t want 5 years of depressing hell to have all been for nothing.
