When are politicians going to admit they are almost powerless to do anything about the economy

@bazzacollins - Why, UK manufacturers are currently competitive and many foreign cars are already assembled on the UK. -
@MikeHenson Not that many. Dagenham and the midlands have been massacred. -
@bazzacollins - We also need to start a process of non-privatisation of utilities and the rail network. -
@MikeHenson Infrastructure I agree on. But withdraw from international trade and we’re finished. -
@bazzacollins - I’m not suggesting we withdraw, I’m saying don’t import if we make it in the UK. -
@MikeHenson Same effect. Prices soar, because we can’t compete with Asia on labour costs, and you enter hyper-inflation. -
@bazzacollins - At the moment you pay less for imports and the money goes overseas. People need to buy UK products or pay more for imports -
@MikeHenson But they can’t afford to pay for British goods. It’s like free range chickens: it’s a great idea few can afford. - 1 more reply
