All this despite the fact that UK PLC needs both greatly right now given the massive amount of debt and spending we're wrestling with. You totally ignore the fact that the damage you speak of has been done but then seek to rub salt in the wound it's created in revenge.
You say we need a 'system reset' as if you're talking about your phone NOT one of the world's largest economies and seem to think this can be done at the flick of a switch and in complete isolation from the rest of the world and the global financial system. You talk about lost billions and jobs as if they don't matter - as if they're all going to be the fat cats you loathe when in fact the vast majority of those jobs will be ordinary hardworking decent people who're struggling to get by. We give away our financial sector and what it generates and just create viable, long term manufacturing jobs out of nowhere seems to be your sole argument.
I think we're having to agree to disagree and move on.

Yes because my view is future growth will be permanently damaged unless one of 2 things happen.
1 - regulation introduced to restrict profits in the financial sector.
2 - Financial sector disbanded.
How much of the country outside of the financial sector is been damaged by the focus put on it.
Agree to disagree.
