See yourself.....
I was not going to bother with a blog today, Boxing day and all. But then I came across a series of end-of-year articles on Twitter.
CNN, The Irish Times and several others all describing the UK as poor, broken and rudderless, with a failing political elite and a terrible economic record.
Perhaps most worryingly none can really see a way out of this mess. That is because as our foreign observers notice the root cause of the UK’s problems is decades of idealogical stupidity, posing as sensible economics.
Austerity, massive under investment, unaffordable tax cuts, increasing inequality, bad education and training, short-termism, ill health and the evisceration of the state have all combined to make the UK a laughing stock, more to be pitied than feared.
If you don’t trust the experts because you think they are part of a remainer plot try reading the foreign media, they don’t have a dog in the fight.
Then maybe you will see us as others do and how we should see ourselves.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
