		<description><![CDATA[Globalisation is all very well while the foreign money is pouring in and funding industry and jobs but once these foreign owners have their feet under the table they often find that it is more efficient to centralise production and transfer the industry abroad. This would be fair enough were it possible for British companies to buy up industry in China, Germany or Japan in the same way but other countries are not as open as the UK.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2657&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Supported of Labour in the United Kingdom appear incensed that they are no longer the party of government and are condemning the Liberal Democrats for forming a coalition with the Conservatives. Words such as despicable, treachery and deceit have been used.

Labour suffered a massive drop in support and polled far fewer votes than the Conservatives. The Labour party, Gordon Brown and the rag tag bunch of nobodies that formed the last cabinet are widely disliked throughout the country yet they now behave as if they have been cheated of power.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2440&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 1960s North Sea oil was discovered and helped support our inefficient industry for a while. But consider this: While Britain took economic advantage of North Sea oil and it's economy prospered Germany and France did not do so bad either yet they did not have oil. North Sea Oil is due to run out in the next few years and where will that leave the British economy? In 2008 around 46% of British tax came from finance. The finance industry has now collapsed so where does that leave the British economy? I stress again that Germany has maintained a broadly comparable economy without North Sea oil, without a bloated finance sector and without hyper-commercialisation.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2105&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both China and the West have gained from the flow of trade but we should consider that, having now allowed so much industry to move to China, we have become reliant on an authoritarian regime which cares for nothing but perpetuating it's own existence. We should also keep this in mind when businessmen and political leaders talk of the necessity of allowing the free flow of trade to countries where there is “competitive advantage”. This competitive advantage is, very often, the absence of political rights,  civil rights and the rule of law.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=1818&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
