@Pippa,
The problem in this country is with every Tory government more of the manufacturing base vanishes. It's now at the point where there are hardly any in British hands. These jobs require high skill levels and investment in proper apprenticeships such as the ome I did overseen by the EITB.
In my sector alone O&G there has been in the region of 200k jobs gone in the last few years, these being highly paid skilled positions leading to money going back into the economy.
Don't get me started on farms and landowners, if they can't make it work then sell the business to someone who can.
A a Chartered Engineer born and bred in Tyneside it has always been the case in my 30+,years that well paying work requiring world beating skils and training have been destroyed, maybe it's time the rest of the UK had a taste.
All the cr@p about giving tax breaks to the rich as the money filters down is just that cr@p, the capitalist system works like a tree, it takes what it needs from the roots and pushes it up to the leaves!
