Thing is after the crash the government should have borrowed to invest (interest rates were a record low) and gone for growth instead of cutting corporation tax or taxation for the wealthy..... the country would have balanced the books in 5 years instead of having a decade of crippling austerity which has the UK as a low wage, low production economy.

That kind of environment is manna from heaven for the likes of the ERG and their backers (many of them American thinktanks and vulture capitalists) who can make a killing from a "no deal" brexit while the car workers of Swindon and sunderland pick up universal credit.

I'm still far from convinced that may won't crash us out just to keep the tories together and in power. They really are that despicable.
