The lack of real growth since 2008 is killing us.

Best post on this thread. Folks are deluded that changing leaders or parties changes anything. How many PMs since Brexit? Everything else is partisan mud slinging, or those that want power thrmselves but will have the same issues and the same failure .
Ageing non working population, increasing demand on public services, but we dont want to pay. An economy that has flatlined since Brexit. We want cheap labour to do the jobs we cant be arsed to do, but dont want immigrants. We want ever more from the NHS, but again not pay extra for it. The buck stops with the electorate, who always blame everybody and anything else. More change , more chaos, more populists, who certainly can't deliver, but they don't care about that..
