Just before the Libyan operation commenced your Exchequer told the PM that he has a two week window of opertunity to get this right otherwise the UK will have to get further into debt. It is now in its 5th month.

These riots are not because of Tories or Whigs or Labour or Conservatives, but simply due to the economic situation in the UK.

You rely on official figures released by your government. Well according to the US government America is not heading for another recession and its rate of unemployment is only 9.5%. The truth is the US economy is not in recession but in depression and its true unemployment figure is not 14 million but closer to 33 million.

Please stop this fantasising about a Great Britain and how it is active in other countries affairs. If it was not for the US the UK would have vanished from world politics. This is 2011 not 1811 when Britannia ruled the waves. The UK on its own has as much influence on the world stage as I have. Your military is incapable of fighting a war 2 kilomteres outside its borders – there is no more money.

However, I have to give you points for you level of belief in your government. Here is some advice, take a lot of what they say with a grain of salt. Once your dead you do not come back to life.

@When I moved to Tottenham 30 years ago, it was a skilled working-class area. The Thatcher recession of the 80s knocked the stuffing out of it, as factory after factory closed. Thatcher's policies were continued by Major, Blair and Brown, with occasional bits of sticking plaster applied in the form of government schemes whereby poor areas fought each other for meagre funds to provide services that rich areas got as of right. Unemployment in parts of Tottenham is now 18%. In the same borough of Haringey – in Crouch End, Muswell Hill and Highgate – where houses cost millions, the rate is 5%. A microcosm of the UK in one London borough. Thatcher knew what her policies would do. One of her first acts was to increase police numbers and pay. The Con Dems are so stupid they are cutting police numbers. Welcome to the long, hot summer.

Also I forgot that the UK economy depended on Rolls-Royce. It has been in decline for the last 20 years anyway. It is just one business.

RR is booming with massive orders. Big Pharma is leaving the UK and other specialized industries, indicative of specialization being created not in the UK. Jobs created or people not claiming what is left of unemployment benefit? Data, data, data. Blah. Yet again, substantial cuts have yet to kick in. Where is demand?

And the budget cuts still haven't substantially kicked in, the bailed out banks aren't lending, business isn't hiring. Tick tock Yorkshire Pudding!

I never said the British economy was boombing, I said it was growing. And last time I checked 1.3% growth is considered as growing.

Also I forgot that the UK economy depended on Rolls-Royce. It has been in decline for the last 20 years anyway. It is just one business.

Also if a quarter of small firms are 'just surviving', they're still surviving. And as the UK economy does improve (which it is doing) they'll find it easier to survive.

Also businesses are hiring considering unemployment is decreasing. And many jobs are constantly being created.

I did say it will take four years before the British economy kick starts properly, but the UK economy as we speak is growing. Try again.

This is only the start. As the economy gets tighter more and more civil unrest. About time it started to happen in the dear west LOL,LOL, LOL.
(sj, 7 August 2011 23:40)

Civil Unrest always happens when the Tories are in power. Look what happened under Thatcher. The 1981 race riots in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds and Liverpool. The 1984-5 Miners' Strike mainly in South Wales and South Yorkshire. The 1990 Poll Tax riots. All the other strikes, riots and protests etc. There is always going to be civil unrest and protests etc when the Tories are in power. When Thatcher came to power in 1979 the UK was in a far worse economic crisis than the UK is in now. It took her about four years to get the UK economy kick starting again, starting with cuts etc but when she did the get the British economy growing it didn't half grow fast; then by the late 1980s the British economy was really strong. Not just that Thatcher made the UK much stronger in the international arena, she regained the UK's status which it had lost after giving up East of Suez. This is one of the reasons why the UK is such an important player on the world stage today.

As a Yorkshireman I hate Thatcher and the Tories for ideological reasons but I have to admit that she did make the UK economically and politically much stronger.

You're laughing now but put it this way history is repeating itself and the UK economy is already growing and by 2015 the UK is scheduled to have a much stronger economy than it had in 2007-2008 aka before the economic crisis. The Tories do not mess around, they know what they're doing and they're very adamant to get it done. Also the Tories like to stick their noses into other peoples affair's a lot more than Labour do. The UK is already very active in other countries foreign affair's, expect more arm twisting!

This is only the start! LOL, LOL, LOL!
