We don't produce anything anymore, If you live in a service economy such as ours it's an act of gross stupidity to take cash out of that economy, the only effect it can ever have is to slow consumer spending and confidence and set off a chain reaction that will drive the economy straight back into recession.

The socialists dropped us in it blah blah blah.

1. First of all it was the BANKERS who really dropped us in this mess and how many bankers do you know who are socialists?
Yes, I will concede that Labour govts failed to get to grips with that reprehensible City culture but it was Thatcher and the Tories who invited Financial Services to this country (at the expense of industry) and introduced rampant deregulation that allowed a lot of clever, rich bankers to make even more money off the backs of decent hard working people.
