That’s clearly nonsense. Take the University sector as an example. The Universities in Greater Manchester - “Public First estimated that the Manchester universities created £5.3 billion in value for the UK in 2018/19, £2.1 billion for Greater Manchester (2.7% of the GM economy) and £1.2 billion for Manchester”
Public spending is enormously profitable but it doesn't show up on balance sheets. But the profit is out there in terms of the value it adds to the quality lives, businesses and other activities. Taxation is merely recouping some of this profit. What goes around comes around.
The problem with these kinds of stats is double counting. The university includes the value its students create after graduation when they are largely earning in the private sector. Similarly the private sector don’t apply a ‘discount’ for the contribution that the universities made to their employees. This happens every time you see these ‘value’ estimates.
But there is no simple way of valuing how many things add to or change the quality of our lives, which is why the world of finance should not rule.
nah
I thought we'd had enough of experts...
Believe what you want.
That any administration appoints people with actual experience when forming a government after 14 years in opposition makes very good sense.
have any examples of Tories appointing anybody that wasnt a mate or a supporter of the brexit con, or vested self interest
any video titled "exposed" or "do not want you to see" is a load of **** if there were anything damaging in it the tories would have been shouting it from the rooftops, its propaganda for gullible idiots.
I also won’t watch anything that include “then this happened” or “won’t believe what happened next”. Invariably they are a load of **** too
But with fewer votes than 2019. Not surprising given the divisiveness and negativity of the campaign.
