The economy is booming, the pound
is almighty strong,

This is not necessarily helpful.

I suppose poverty and deprivation is. What world do you live in?

The real one.

Have you ever heard that a strong currency leads to more expensive
exports?

The pound is not strong against the Euro, but the dollar is

temporarily
very weak - that's great for the US, bad for the rest of the world.
Like Britain, Americans are spending more borrowed money that they

can
afford.

I assume you refer to this consumer debt. 80% is people paying

mortgages
to
put a super expensive small roof over their heads. Land ownership and
availability for building is the core of this.

Oh not that again.


You are so dumb you can't see the root problem(s). We pay far too much

for
very small homes because of an artificial land shortage, while the
established aristocracy still own vast tracts of land in the UK. Haven't
you figured it out yet?


The whole debate has been had at least five times before and all of
the possible angles discussed repeatedly and ad nauseam.


But the penny hasn't dropped with you. The brainwashing is hard to
penetrate.
