    It's wishful thinking sadly. I wouldn't go by what your average businessman thinks. If you'd asked the majority two years ago if they thought we were going to experience the biggest economic slump since WWII almost all would have said no, and most did zero planning for the eventuality of the boom not lasting forever.

    We are just getting rid of the unprofitbale businesses, the economy won't go until the rest have gone. Once we have had a full clearout, it will start again.

    So once the government start realising (like the Thatcher Government did) that trying to save them is futile, we'll all be better off with the new hungry dynamic businesses.

    Best thing this government can do and any other for that matter is stay the hell out of it and let things take their course.

    There will be no green shoots of anything until the current clowns have gone, 12 months of the living dead to go at the very least.

    and paying for it!


    and pay for it for years to come!

    the news discussion programs like Newsnight are saying we'll be paying for it for 30 years out of taxes

    The banks should have been allowed to go bust - and then taken over for nothing

    As wise old Richard Branson said "Rather than give one failing car manufacturer 20 billion pound to keep them afloat, you would better off giving 20 new car companies 1 billion each".

    Yes industries and businesses have to be allowed to fail if it comes on top too much EVEN BANKS as there's a reason they aint getting income and can't cope. Ah well, the green / eco business will see everyone all right in the end, it's starting already, just need the laws to support it and they're incoming, already the old cars for cash coming in, just hope British tech is at the forefront otherwise pointless.
