I notice from the comments attached to the article that a black hole in the economy is mentioned, but ascribed to presumed overspending. A little research into the matter reveals that it is the much vaunted 'private' industry that is at fault by agressive and persistent tax avoidance and evasion, hence the spending planned and based upon expected revenue becomes overspending, whilst big multinationals enjoy hidden often ofshore profits free of tax. This extends even to that happy band of PFI entrepreneurs, you only need to look as far as 'Mapeley' who 'accepted' the land and property formerly owned by the Property Services arm of HMG and undertook to maintain and manage it on a 'business footing' in return for a market rent from the HMG tenants, and then promptly shifted their operation 'offshore'.

Thats what happens though, when you tax the sh!t out of people. There is a maximum you can extract from a population and I personally think we are there.
