Why The Economic Crisis?

 1) It seems that we are the only ones shelling out incredible amounts for war in the Ukraine.

2) We have stoopidly failed to renew our nuclear power stations.
3) We sit on 350 years of coal and refuse to use it.
4) WE sit on at least 100 years worth of shale gas and have surrendered to the Green/Pink lobby who instruct us not to use it.
5) We have mothballed oil wells.
6) We apparently believe that windmills and plastic panels on our roofs will sort the situation.
7) We have allowed huge amounts of immigration - even when we already have a shortage of homes and jobs.
8) We gave away billions of pounds funding furloughs which in many cases were unnecessary - and in countless others - a welcome to fraud.
9) We have a civil service draining government funds with countless workers undertaking 'non-jobs'.
10) Our NHS is riddled with expensive bureaucracy.
11) Our military orders hardware at £X billion pounds and it arrives ten years later costing £3X billion.
12) We no longer actively pursue VAT fraud and active tax dodging.
13) We have embraced the Net Zero nonsense with barely a second thought.

These are just random thoughts. With a little effort, I could treble this ignominious list!

All the fault of Boris and Rishi? - NO, because all other parties are at least as bad and generally worse.

Brexit? Of course not. It is our only way out of this mess.
