UK economic growth weakest in over five years

The news looks like it has an obvious answer, but that is not so.

Britain hasn't even left the EU yet and still their poverty is sky high (and rising), and their debt is rising (fast).

Firstly, since the 80s, the UK has become obsessed with economic elitism focusing on the flourishing economy London while ignoring fundamentals. Rather than advancing an industrialized economy and pursue agriculture reform to feed the country leaders in the UK have focused on service industry management while also wealth inequalities and rewarding takers (bankers) rather than producers (blue-collar workers).

Now debt is rising, their are no fundamental strengths to the UK as service sector finance isn't anything real that can be maintained through economic turmoil and soon the UK will become the poor man of Europe unless they do socialist working class reforms (not the capitalist reforms like in Denmark, but industrial reforms as seen in Basque country Spain).

We've had financial troubles in all my living memory, and that goes back a loooooooong way. We're still here.

I can promise you, England is nothing like Greece. I know, I visit Greece, and they're up **** creek.......

I hate to tell you, but we have a Conservative government. No socialists among them.

Socialism........ boy, it's a long time since you left England huh?

Venezuela is state run capitalism.

Socialism is handing more economic and political power to those who produce the most.

UK businesses should follow the corporate model as set by Mondragon corporation.

China raped the english rust belt.

EU should have poured money into the rust belt like they did with scotland and northern ireland to keep working class englishmen placated.

They should have compromised on the migration. THe UK is an island afterall.

In turn, the UK should be leading and angolizing the EU except for french and italian food. Spanish and portugease food is like bland italian food.

British policy should have been make the EU england.
