The low productivity argument is complete bull, but agree with the rest of it. Productivity is a deliberately ambiguous metric, because positive productivity - that is supply that exceeds demand, has a deflationary impact on the profits of capitalism. This is the supply of, and access to, housing is deliberately constrained and costs are artificially inflated via stupid schemes.
Thatcher sold off our industry, and all of our public assets to the US and others via FDI, which skyrocketed under her government. We remain simply an offshore labour force for the US, who pays virtually no tax and lobbies for the suppression of our incomes so maximise the wealth they can extract. The same way they do the rest of the world. If we resist, or sought greater trade with one of their rivals, this would become blatantly obvious.
We need government spending in training and housing regulation, and renationalising of our infrastructure and supporting functions. If not, we’ll continue down this road until the American empire falls.
