UK for sale!

To let. A valuable site at the crossroads of the world. At present on offer to corporate clients. Outlying portions of the estate already disposed of to sitting tenants. Of some historical and period interest. Some alterations and improvements necessary. (the playwright, Alan Bennett).

And the government that notionally placed the advertisement is called “conservative”! Why is it that as soon as you get a “conservative” government it always wants to upend the lifestyle and values of the people and sell everything? In this case, the “conservative” government in the UK is selling off the real estate, creating a huge bubble and boasting that it has a thriving economy. Yes the dollar/sterling exchange rate is over 1.70 and every third person you speak to has just been to Florida. But the so-called good economy is based on flogging off the country to Russians and rich Arabs. When the bubble has burst what will be left? Vodka imports? Epicurus thought there was more to life than money.
