Simple economics....no shareholders...no funding...no business.

less profit to make=steady jobs, that will give the young a hope for their future.whats the point of educating our young in college university etc when there is no jobs for them..most of them are emigrating.the day of companies floating themselves on the stockmarket to raise revenue are over.it all points to pure greed and it has backfired big time.....lets give the young a future not the abyss which is happening now .lets give them a work culture not a drug culture sitting in their house smoking cannabis all day scounging benefits,lets give them some pride back something to work to something to work for lets make britain great again for the majority not just the chosen few...

The EU has decided that we are abusing our opt out of the 48 hr week rule
Working Time Directive
seems that nobody is being given the option to refuse to work more than 48hrs a week.
It is likely that the rule will be imposed as a result - which means no overtime, but this should mean more jobs.

The only comment I have is that Labour did not win this seat ... just held it.

Even the planet's fastest growing economy is worried about the worldwide recession, brought about by the greedy multi-national banks, and their selling of sub prime mortgages to people who really couldn't afford those American trailers.

Here the Chinese put their concerns into a moving song.

Watch it and weep.

Which is more than the poor Tories did, who sadly lost their deposit.

The National Health Service has no share holders, but people fly in from all over the world to take advantage of the first class business service they provide.

I feel we are a dented nation but all businesses run off debt. Of the G7 we are supposed to have the lowest debt and be in a good position. I think its difficult to tell and AndrewB and the lime going off on one at the deep end is a bit poor. There was too much red tape and AndrewB advocated not long ago to much state intervention. Cameron whom I liked until the yacht thing has made himself luck stupid. Saying he woud have save the economy whilst takingbdonations from these banks and hedgefund managers. Over the yacht thing rather than an honest explanation he sleazed his way pointing the finger at Mandelson. Not what he has been saying about cleaning up politics.

In the end a miserly scot with one eye on helping people is probably the right man for this crises. Posted via Mobile DeviceI

Where regulation works well we need it, the banking sector is one of those places. There was definitely not enough of it in the banking sector. The Bank of England Act made sure of this by stripping down regulation. I think we could be in a better position now if we had kept effective regulation.

The National Health Service is State Funded and appoints 'Officers' to run the service.
Don't see what this has to do with shareholders apart from all UK taxpayers being shareholders of a service they subscribe to.
I think that the NHS will be NHS Ltd.

If the Labour party hadn't introduced the National Health Service there'd now only be private health companies, for those who could afford it, whose main concern would be profit, and the dividends paid to their shareholders.

Perhaps some would like to see a return to pre-1948 Britain, where profit came before care, and where people died because they couldn't afford to see a doctor.
