Global prosperity and peace for who? Certainly not the middle east, certainly not the countless dictators supported and certainly not the people suffering from economic warfare from sanctions, blockades etc
“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Putting eggs in a business built on speculating on fictitious capital and producing very little real economic output is just a very complicated way of giving money to private financial companies who by the nature of their work - extract everything out of the British economy that does produce goods.
UK Govt is unleashing finance industry for economic growth.
History:
2007-08 crash, Govt provided £133bn cash + £1,029bn guarantees for bailouts, £895bn QE.
Mid-1970s banking crash. Govt negotiated loan with IMF.
What next? How much finance does the UK need?

The government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industry
Such a strategy was tried in 1970s and came to grief in the mid-1970s secondary banking crash.

Brentford pressing with a front four in the first half is proving great at stifling Newcastle's build up but clearly ran out of steam in that last 15. Thiago not quite doing enough off the ball in our out of possession so far yet

My mother raised me like this and now I am incredibly annoying in pub arguments and have repeatedly been asked "if I want to take this outside" because I say things like "I dont think thats true whatsover, have you go any evidence for this".
Do I deserve it for being up my own ass? Probably.
