Another example would be local utilities. Water in particular. There does need to be a good relationship between government and private companies so the best can be made of the combination. England has privatized the water business, while it's still a government run business in Scotland. England has some appalling problems with water quality and delivery. I don't think having some overseas suit as a major shareholder is necessarily a good idea for the consumer. Investment and development is an important factor too of course. So... this is a big area for political and financial development. Couple this with a desire for monetary reform, there is some ideas waiting in the wings should the political will power ever develop for change. Sometimes you do just have to wait for things to screw up completely. If the Tories screw up the NHS, it wont take many disasters to appear in the newspapers for about 65 million sheeple to switch into revolutionary mode. What amazes me is the very different news stories I am getting on Syria and Aleppo. There is no analysis in the normal news whatsoever why we are even interfering in Syria. Just photos of kids being bombed, and that news is highly distorted about who are the good guys (ISIS?) and who are the bad guys. WTF??? Or maybe Teresa is the gal who can get all this sorted ? Always interested in what the Scots think on this, and looks like a defining silence at the moment. One can have sympathy with parliamentarians and even treasury officials, contemplating this can of worms. The present money system can be likened to an inverted pyramid constantly teetering on the point of collapse. Policymakers can be forgiven for scuttling away and leaving it all to be sorted out by the bankers and economists and academics. That, however, is not good enough. These are the very people who recommended to Alex Salmond that an independent Scotland could share Sterling. Very few of them have a radical bone in their bodies and view any prospect of serious change as anathema. There must, however, be change to our financial system because it is inherently unstable. That is little wonder because it was designed from the outset by an elite for an elite at the expense of the many. Either we keep bending under this ever increasing burden of national debt and austerity or we turn around and face the shadows. Independence offers the Scots a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start afresh free of debt and deception. commonspace.scot There, somebody has actually written some news on the internet about the real nature of the problem. -g-
