We used to lead the way in car building , ship building , manufacturing etc
what do we do now? Call centres and even those are being outsourced to India when possible
you watch Documentaries that show the biggest ship building yards in the world in Korea etc, 100 years ago these guys would struggle to make a boat to hold a dozen people
back to present day ship building is almost completely gone bar a few naval contracts and the odd Cal Mac ferry or 2 that are currently sitting half built rusting away in Port Glasgow weighed down with red tape
how has government after government got it so wrong?
look at Europe and Asia’s road and rail networks , the heavy industry , manufacturing , technology companies
look at the state of fragility of our military and police with cut back after cut back , not even mentioning NHS
yet they’ll waste billions on HS2 and probably not even end up building it
20 years of debate to build another runway at Heathrow
but in turkey or Asia theyll just build a 7 runway start of the airport cos they need it
all the politicians here are only interested in point scoring , how many retweets something got or insisting people get arrested and jailed for people calling other people names
I just don’t get it , or how the world works anymore
It could be such a different place
without sounding all morbid n that, I don’t have kids and I’m so glad of that because I would just spend my life worrying what their future holds
when it gets too much for me I’ll take the long walk myself…
that escalated quickly lol
