The industrial sector was well and truly wrecked long before the Blairites came up with the cockamamie wheeze of turning Britain's universities into US-style colleges where anyone who aspired to a 'college degree' could have one if they were willing to pay for it, or could find somebody else who would. Yes, and fellow EUrophile Blair steered us towards a service-based economy, one you now clearly deplore. The Lisbon summit was supposed to see the 'modernisation' of European economies in Blair's world view, Blair wanted e-commerce turbo-charged with cheap and fast internet access in Britain. So while you're stuck lamenting industrial decline, just remember Europhile Blair put the coffin lid on it for good and consigned it well and truly into the bowels of history with the rise of a knowledge based economy. |

I think it was a fellow EUphile in Tony Blair who drove the agenda for the UK becoming a knowledge-based economy rather than an industrial one. A huge amount of industry ditched us while Labour were last in office. Even HP Sauce production was moved to the continent. Another politician who doesn't appreciate blue collar workers. He wanted them in Universities studying useless fecking degrees in something like recreation management, and managed leaving them with debt around their necks. |

I'm quite happy for Blair to be assigned a large part of the blame for Britain's economic, cultural and demographic decline. But he's not the only culprit of course and nor were they by any means all 'EUphiles'.
Boris Johnson, for example, a one-man wrecking crew who could never be tarred with that particular brush.
