A dynamic and healthy market econonmy will have a turnover of companies
closing and opening. This in no way indicates anything wrong in the economy.

This may have been true, but times are changing.
What worries me is the movement of Companies to other Countries.
For instance, Terry's of York now make their chocolates in Poland.
They have not closed down and left a big hole in the market for another
company to fill.
They are selling just as much.
But are employing almost nobody in Britain.
Not only is there no hole in the market, but their costs are now so low
that they will be in a position to force other British companies into
moving or closing.

every time someone estimates public sector pension liabilities there is a
bigger figure.
i think £1,000bn was the last estimate I read.
sacking 5,000+ nhs staff helps to address the problem i guess :-(
I dread to think of the harm PFI is doing to the public finances. the whole
idea is madness.

how about government borrowing? the economy has been growing for years, yet
they have been borrowing 10s of billions of £.
borrowing today = tax tomorrow.
no wonder gordon brown is desperate to get to no. 10. in his own words (i
believe): "there are two kinds of chancellor - those who are sacked and
those who get out in time."
