Read this article with interest, it raises some interesting questions about where the UK is going and why we have ended up in such a bad situation.
It seems we have lost control over many things that are influencing what is happen to the UK, even house prices according to HBOS chief Andy Hornby won’t get back to normal until the US house prices start going up.
Whilst I understand the global finance world that we now live in, why can’t we solve our own house price problems. Perhaps we still have too many greedy bankers in the UK that thought that buying cheap paper debt was a quick way of making money – which I am sure many did – and we of course are now learning to our costs, that it was an idiotic pipe dream.
I am not strong on Isolationism, but I think the UK needs to start to look inwards and solve some of our dependencies on outside influences (Gas and Electricity suppliers would a place to start) or we are going to end up being an even weaker country than I think we are already in danger of becoming.
