do or decline

 

Cameron says that Britain has to sink or swim or do or decline if we do not change our ways. When we had industrial actions in the seventies and eighties we were the sick man of Europe, but workers changed and there has been very little industrial action these days. The country is in a state not because of the unions or the work force but because of poor management at government level over the past thirty or so years. The financial services have got us into this mess, bosses who have with the governments connivance have sold the crown jewels. Businesses have moved to other countries where they can pay the workers pittance wages but make profits for themselves.Osborne has said that he will rewrite employment laws to allow bosses to offer jobs without work place rights in return for shares in the company. Does this just go how out of touch people like him are. Who in their right mind would agree to this. You sign up for how many shares per employee tens, hundred, or thousands, of shares the average employee would only receive tens of shares. He agrees and within weeks he could be dismissed with no come back. Again why would people agree to such things when the people economists talk about the country growing  by a certain percent year on year. Then we have the International Monetary Fund saying that the country's economy will contract by 0.4% this year. The bottom line is that these economist know absolutely nothing they haven't got the foggiest idea they see a number passing by and grab it. The big problem is that Britain has let to many jobs go abroad to third world countries, that is for the benefit of a minority of rich people who have their greedy fingers in the pie. You have only to look at the debacle over building a third runway at Heathrow or the talk about the Wests high speed rail link, The government dithers on these major projects not for weeks but years and as they dither, the cost escalate till they then say that it is no longer viable. But if you really want to see what trouble the country is in you have only to look at the energy situation. We are closing down coal fired power station from March 2013 ahead of the proposed time frame, what have we got to replace them nothing and don't think that wind turbines will provide the energy the country needs. By 2020 this country will be plunged into long periods of darkness with no electricity, and God help us if we get severe winters with power cuts. Hundreds of people will die. We have to build power stations today not talking about it. We led the world on Nuclear power,now we cant build them we have to employ foreign companies possible from China and Russia. We led the world on rail transport. Today we have eighty miles of so called high speed track whilst countries like France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan have thousands of miles of track. So the problem for Britain's decline isn't the workers of this once proud country its the incompetent people in power now and over the past  thirty years that have got us into this sad state.
