The world is in a mess because we haven't got a world leader worthy of the title.
PC has tied their hands for so long that it's weakness that has become the norm.
Instead of doing what has to done they look around for the area of most support and go with that.
The UK is leading the world in wrapping their citizens in cotton wool, shielding them from reality, giving them money to carry on as before. It's not sustainable and it will end in a much bigger problem than utilising kitchen sink economics, we need to live to our means not our aspirations. The govt effectively gave the green light to a nightmare future on Friday, we are going to see many more homeless people in the next 6-18 months, the money spent on maintaining people's lifestyles would have been better spent on the poorest. A friend of mine had a good idea, instead of giving home owners money whether they need it or not, they should send out the money in the form of vouchers to be spent with energy companies and supermarkets. that way it doesn't get spent on fags, booze and flights to Spain. I know it's not nearly that simple but just handing cash out is bonkers.
