UK public sector is crippling UK economy (11Nov10)

The out of control public sector is crippling the UK private sector, and hence the entire UK economy. But still "the state" is expanding, despite cuts. The politicians in the UK truly are idiots, with no maths degrees or common sense between them.

Still failed Labour ex-chancellor Alistair Darling blames the banks for the increased public sector, and not Labour for borrowing and spending like crack addicts on every piece of cr@p project under the sun to make it look like Labour had an economic miracle. The only miracle is it took 13 years to get rid of the crooked government.

Then there's the union boss, who seems to think that the public sector generates wealth for the economy. How?

Recorded from Channel 4's "Britain's Trillion Pound Horror Story", 11 November 2010.

Can Anyone honestly expect the politicians to tackle the bloated state and debt?

No, want to know why?

The British Sheeple, too used to free everything, dependencies on benefits, healthcare, and education have made the people unable to realise any alternative, an unrational fear of edwardian era poverty is largely to blame, but can honestly anyone expect that to happen?

Of course, when people buy flat screen TV's over their child's food, i guess we really are fucked eh.

manufacturing makes wealth and nothing else

Gordon Brown, Blair and their entire cabinets, should be forced to stand in a giant circle and kick the arse in front of them until their foot falls off or hell freezes over, which ever the sooner....That would be sufficient compensation for the damage they have done to this country.

Today I learned that Alastair Darling is a bloody fool.  I couldn't have done that interview, i'd have strangled that pompous git with his necktie.

@Sres1 I completely agree.

This video only scratches the surface of the complete TV program. Its damning!

Remember when the Gov't Nationalised businesses? Every single one of these was denied it's profits re- investment money because the Gov't squandered it to spend it as taxes.

Shared phone lines, crap cars, water shortages, filthy coal power stations. Strikes, crap railways, useless jobs created to make useless areas look good so they kept on voting Labour, etc. etc.

I was forced out of the UK with my business. The UK does NOT want private enterprise. I was hammered from all fronts. I have given all my jobs to New Zealanders' now (where I white-fled to). It's GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT.

[MINGCHINGBOY]

@Ckererec Yip, we are fucked. Come over to NZ where I am now to see an alternative old fashioned (in a good way) Christian, White, lifestyle. Crime is non-existant and the people are hard working and GREAT. What a communist hell GB is now.

@NatDemUK utter rubbish, nothing in the public sector is cheap. Unplug from the state, it is not going to help you, it needs dismantling because the cretins who run it are stealing our money, to set themselves up for life, from trade unionists, to local councillors to the troughers in Westminster.

[NatDemUK]

@Sres1 It would mean that they would be used for service, not for profit and give us low bills especially for our pensioners.

@smileykai77 What are you talking about? I am saying that the water, gaz, electricity and public transport are not part of the public sector when they really should.
