the figure the media peddle £29000 is utterly meaningless when used to paint a rosy picture of this country.Bonuses to the spivs in the financial sector drag the figure upwards. it would be much more informative if they revealed what percentage of the population earned below this figure.Does anyone know? My guess is that it would be a lot higher than in the E.U. Unless you live in london and surrounding area the future is bleak . the big northern and midland cities would be better off if we joined scotland . Their laws are far more democratic than ours and at least reflect the will of the majority and not just the rich and powerful. there is so much wrong with england that can never be put right , changing governments makes no difference ,mps of all parties are as bad as the bankers and the judiciary for dipping into the trough and lining their pockets the police are a law unto themselves with immunity to even murder . So thats it .The country is f***ked . End of
