Thought this was UK investor show, not Tory bullshit ramp party political speech.
This guy Sajid David, is nothing more than a paid ramper mate of dodgy Daves, marketing PR , what ever his political title.
These people were in oposition, it was their job to oppose whatever they thought was wrong under labour, they did’nt, and the said defecit is still being amassed as we speak Sajid, the coalition has added another 500 billion to the national debt, along with the pernitious austerity.
What a Prat.

I stopped watching once the deficit terrorism got going.
Totally misunderstanding the mechanics of the monetary system is one thing.
Advertising the fact is another.

Its regrettable to note that whilst Sajid Javid and his boss, the repulsive Cameron have been governing our nation, we have according to the yesterdays UN Happiest Countries in the World list, yet again fallen, this time down to to 21st!
Apparently, we Brits ain’t very happy!
Hardly surprising, when you consider, we have had government policies that specialise in promoting a low skill, low pay, low productivity workforce whilst slashing taxes to the very richest. Penalising and stigmatising those reliant on the Welfare State, whilst allowing the rich to get richer that has lead to the greatest social polarisation of all time. So much for ‘all in this together’ eh, Dave?
Contrast, our sorry unhappy lot with those happiest countries, the Scandinavian countries (all of them in the top 10), that have High Skills, High Pay, High Tax, High Spending regimes that has resulted in the exact opposite to the shocking social and economic disaster and decline that has been the fate of the UK since 1979.
If anyone doubts the success of the Scandinavian social economic model over our own, just ponder this:-
Sweden, Norway and Finland have steadily been closing their prisons, whilst we just can’t build them fast enough!

odd how the suicide rate in those happy countries Sweden Norway and Finland is higher than the UK
