Because there was the received wisdom in Whitehall that the U.S. was the cornerstone financially of the developed world. Like ailing weaklings at school, we allied ourselves to the captain of Rugby [going into Iraq]. Almost like farmers are either "in" with tesco or they may as well give up ....
Now we know that the captain was a fraud - he had over-hyped himself - to gain credit/creditors to buy a shiny Porsche - so he could get laid - cos he couldn't due to his lack of fibre or manhood...
The rightness of the likes of Minister Clare Short ..? who said don't go to Iraq - it will only fuel extremist attacks on the U.K. seem trivial now. Not to mention dead Kelly. I like to think the Gov broadly acted in our best interests - in an underhand way as they thought they knew better - they were just wrong.
Now the rot has destroyed the West's shiny facade from the inside. It is Islamic banking that is coming to the fore .. The q'uran forbids the charging of interest , just as the bible does. More Muslims follow this rule than do Christians. hence they are less effected by the credit crunch. Banque etc.. ...there 's a beautiful circularity about this - I haven't .. down on silicon
And don't say that it is easy to say that in hindsight - I've been fighting this mindset for years be it on a motorbike on the streets of EC1.... or ..
The country has been miss-lead and miss-guided countless times before. Our constitution has proved conducive to ...reconstitution and the constitution [magna carta effectively?] allows for it [and was born out of one such miss leader's misconduct - king John]
Like species that adapt to a new environment - the seeds of what made Britain [and its off-shoot the li'l' ol' U.S of A.] great which [lets face it plaid a large part in the format of civilisation today] lie dormant. Every child is born with the potential to be as creative as Isaac Newton or Brunel.. their teachers lurk in sheds all over the country pitting their engines and ingenuity against each other honing their skills like an army waiting to be called to arms. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBKRo8q3rQ - Sport was devised to occupy armies between campaigns [racquets replaced swords - goals replaced castles to storm..] Motorsport and hobbies do the same for the would-be designers and drivers of manufacturing.. You only have to watch scrapheap challenge and robot wars!!
What is left to invent though ..?
Robotics
NOW is the opportunity to usher in true quality of life which we were promised.
get away from this work to spend dependant economy Innovation in social policy is required too. Leave that to me. We will be on 3 day weeks with robots doing the rest.
Why do we oppose this idea?
we NEED to earn..
Why?
...the economy feeds and depends revenue from our own people's exaggerated addiction to buying products and services because we do not export. A robotics industry would change all that.
