Justice for Men & Boys 
All the cans which have been kicked down the road while GB has been living beyond its means – there has been no appetite to deal with any of the issues. Time and again, the taxpayer is expected to stump up, whether to put roofs above the head of those who arrive here illegally, or to subsidise the lifestyles of women who choose polyandrous ‘blended’ families and refuse to limit the number of children they feel themselves ‘entitled’ to have.
Everyone knows that something big is in the offing in the November budget. Not least the bond markets. When a significant percentage of Government borrowing (twice the defence budget) is being used simply to service existing debt, everyone knows that this can’t continue much longer. If I were using credit cards to pay off existing credit card debt, the bank would, quite rightly, wish to be aware of my plans to extricate myself from this situation.
Cue a great deal of hand-wringing over the dismal productivity figures of the past fifty years. They aren’t much better than when Labour was forced to go, cap in hand, for a loan from the IMF in the 1970s. The received wisdom on this situation is that lack of investment has caused the growth in output per hour of work to have trended steadily downwards since the 1970s. There’s undoubted truth to this. The assembly lines at Cowley and Longbridge weren’t exactly state of the art in the 1970s. When Ford bought Jaguar, they said that they’d never seen such an archaic production facility outside of Eastern Europe.
But there’s more to it than that. I got a clue because, for the past four years, my wife has been working from home for a Housing Association. As I’ve been retired for years, this allows me to overhear the mechanics of their ‘processes’, which revolve around gossip, chit-chat, and unfocussed, unmitigated waste, especially of other people’s time, and most especially the time and efforts of tradesmen, trying to earn a living.
I would respectfully submit that the corrosive and counter-productive effects of women in the workplace is the efficiency black hole which has dragged western economies into the doom spiral.
Expecting Rachel Reeves to come riding to the rescue with her 2CV is a further manifestation of the problem, not a solution.
