  • I remember reading that the UK was haemorrhaging manufacturing jobs at frightening rate during the Labour term. Nothing was done, I suspect the City was leant on to provide finance for alternative investment but with the government picking winners, this investment was never going to find it’s way into virtuous hands. I don’t think it is fair to just lump the problem with the extend-and-pretend brigade. They were the agents. Government is ultimately responsible?
