It seems that Brexit has caused a downturn in the service industry. It's long overdue. The ratio of industrial activity to service providers has been at the ridiculous level of 1:4. There are not enough doers and creators and too many spouters and experts talking about the economy. We have made ourselves very vulnerable to a recession. And it is why the expenditure on the current Hinkley Point project and HS2 are a waste of resources that should be spread around helping to build British science, technology, industry and exports. We need to get our act together and think again.
Did you see the Ken Loach documentary? It depicted his father working in an absolutely massive Coventry factory now wiped from the face of the earth. The factory was full of machines operated by highly skilled engineers and technicians. I weep over the destruction of our manufacturing base.
