  2. I wrote this earlier: THERE ARE NO QUICK SOLUTIONS no amount of Labour is going to fix this - THIS IS COLLAPSE - Technically it is sigmoid collapse and the UK is now in the near vertical "freefall" part of that. You are experiencing cascading systems failure - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken. This period of collapse usually lasts about 10 years followed by 5 years of stagnation and then recovery starts. You can invest hundreds of billions £ into the infrastructure, education, science but its going to take 15 years just to START having an effect. The UK will also have to rejoin the EU before recovery can happen. I write books on this stuff and this is a severe "fourth turning" collapse. They happen every 80 to 100 years and this is an exceptionally bad one. The UK is going to have to invest £500 billion if not £1 trillion and totally reinvent its political and governing structures. The Britain that emerges from this depression will NOT be even recognisable - this is the collapse of the USSR moment for the UK.

  3. YEP - YOU ARE CORRECT its always the lawyers that start the revolution... YEP - YOU ARE CORRECT it will not go back to "normal" after a Labour win, normal no longer exists for Britain... There will be either whole scale reform of ever part of society, OR there will be revolution.

  5.  @jakel8627  No he is not nuts, he is mostly correct. Personally, I think the era of capitalism its self is over globally, but that aside neoliberalism has destroyed the working people of the west. the ONLY hope for saving capitalism is a reimagining of it along the lines of American New Deal only with more regulation and even more investment in especaily green tech. Personally, I think its over for the west. The reporting on the BRICS+ summit was notable by what it didnt say, American hegemony ended 2 at the summit. The world is a new world facing very new challenges. Britain is a flea on the arse of the world, the fastest collapsing country in a declining west.
