Agree - we just have to look around us. I knew the "boom" of the early 2000s had to be funny money because I saw and experienced nothing but lower and lower spending power, always made bearable by cheap imports. And we're not out of the last bust - see interest rates.

"Britain feels increasingly like a poor country", yet £6billion has been found on the magic money tree for the disaster that is HS2.

I winder how much of GDP is just internal transfers of wealth. HS2 is just borrowed money going into the pockets of contractors, investors and ultimately the City of London.
