"ccess is free. You just have to answer a couple of questions."
Not interested
What you quoted was expansionism based on decades of shrinkage - a statement relative to an already terminally sick industrial base. sick industry
I asked
Do we suddenly have a textile industry again - or a steel industry, or a shipping industry, - have the mines suddenly reopened again - are we suddenly manufacturing components or car parts instead of just fitting them together?
If we have a healthy industry, just what does it comprise?
What do we manufacture
The world is now in permanent recession - who are we better than and how well are they doing?
We have no industries - we have permanent mass unemployment, the North of England is an unemployment black-spot since Maggie bulldozed it flat
Workers are no longer spinners, or weavers or miners or shipbuilders, or electricians or plumbers... or whatever we used to be - we are, by law, merely workers who are forced by Governmet edict to take whatever job we are offered whhether is suits our health, out family life, or financial situation or our personal preferences.
If I needed a job and could not find one I am trained for, I would be forced to stand at the Argos counter passing parcels to customers, or stacking shelves at Sainsburys or sweeping the streets - that is how things stand now if I am to draw on an insurance policy I paid into all of my working life.
Can't remember who invented the phrase "wage slave", but that is what all British people are now - obliged by law to accept any job w are offered.
"So, your statement is proved wrong."
And that sums up perfectly why you are what you are and not worth bothering with. It's not about exchanging ides, it's about winning
I'd have thought you'd have learned your lesson over the last few months but no here we are again.
Just go away Keith - you foul up every thread you touch
Sorry
