This government has talked it down but the fact is that our net debt is only about 65% GDP. I'm not having the debate about Governments with a non-dom though as you don't understand politics in this country, no offence.
I happen to work in the construction industry, I've managed up to £2Bn projects in London and currently managing £500m PFI schools projects in Yorkshire. Most of the subbys are foreign teams and the quality of their work is SHIT. I have lost count of the amount of times I have to tell the retarded twats to rip their work down and do it properly as they don't know how to construct properly. It is not that they are lazy, because they work VERY hard... it is just that they are thick as f*ck, don't speak the language and as a result don't understand what they are supposed to be doing.
When you talk about sample sizes. Have you any idea how many people are employed in the UK construction industry Swede? Given there are about 7.5million working in the UK construction, I'd say you haven't sampled even 0.00001% of the construction industry.
Let me get this right. You're running a 2Bn GBP project and are hanging around here? A smart businessman makes at least 10% profit on his business so you should be on the Veyron Owners Club forum, no?
I am happy we agree though. As you said, most people in the building industry are non Brits. Which proves my point that Brits are not willing to work.
As for quality, you're right. I've sampled 6 houses in the UK, all of which were supposed to be "expensive places" and every single one of them was built in a sh1t way.
As usual, you're blaming this on the foreign subcontractors. I generally tend to say quality comes down from management... 'nough said.
Then again, English are good at blaming others always, I have noticed. They don't get along with the Welsh, the Scots, the Irish, the French, the Germans... and you know what ? It's always the fault of the others !
When I see how you guys think when you're in a sh1t hole like now, then it reminds me of 1933. Some were also blaming others for their own downfall then...
