Britains Trillion Pound Horror Story

[ElenorRigby]

Anyone watching this?
Sums up why I have been I been so angry about Nulaba, the twats.
Our children have been sold out, FFS our children!!!

Yes. A superb programme. Labour should watch it and feel shame, shame, shame.

Very simplistic but an awful lot of basic info that most people in the public either don't know or just won't accept.

It was inexcusable how many MPs clearly didn't know the difference between the national debt and deficit.

It also explained the "broken window fallacy" of why an ever increasing public sector (53% of GDP!) actually makes everybody poorer and is simply unsustainable.

Yes, the UK has sold its unborn children into a life of debt slavery. Why do people in this country still want to believe debt = wealth!

I thought it was a truly dreadful programme, full of utterly bizarre conflations like private sector = manufacturing and public sector = service industries.

Was not at all surprised to discover that it was made by the same person responsible for The Great Global Warming Swindle, a programme for which C4 later had to apologise on account of its numerous factual inaccuracies and the misrepresentation of its interviewees.

I enjoyed the programme, it was snappy and to the point.

I now want to elbow DC to one side and take over

I thought it was a bloody dreadful programme, we turned over. It was completely sensationalist and inaccurate in many places.

Ah, see I just added a comment on "this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/politics/1082183-What-did-we-think-of-Martin-Durkins-documentary-last-night" about the total lack of women in this documentary and comparing it to the Great Global Warming Swindle. Now you tell me it's by the same person. Why am I not surprised?

Tempted to complain to C4 about the fact that the only two female "characters" in wee sketches they included were a nanny and a nurse in a ridiculously short pink uniform.

It was very one sided. But lots of things are, and people only tend to moan about them when they disagree with them, so I don't particularly discount the programme because of this.

I thought it was sensationalist too, but that a lot of it was true nonetheless.

All very depressing really.
