From The Daily Mail:
David Cameron today admitted that Britain is "on the slide" as he abandoned attempts to paint an upbeat vision of the future despite a grim economic outlook.
The Prime Minister said he came to office at a "grave moment in the modern history of Britain" and it had fallen to him to "say some hard things and help our country face some hard truths".
In a deeply personal speech seen as a fresh attempt at connecting with a few thousand core voters in the stockbroker belt, Mr Cameron drew on the "values" he learned from his late stockbroker father and his landowning father-in-law to set out why he now believes that Britain will never be able to compete in the world.
Mr Cameron told more than 2,000 delegates in Birmingham's Symphony Hall that the coalition was was formed in May 2010 at "a grave moment in the modern history of Britain. And things have got a lot graver since".
He said the government had a challenge "to make an insolvent nation completely bankrupt, to steer our country away from the path to prosperity that all could share, to send out troops into danger while exposing our citizens to terror, to smash the broken society into sub-atomic particles."
The Prime Minister admitted he could not now say "all is well" but he could say: "Britain is basically fucked."

The problem is that cutting the deficit is barelt the starting point of what he says needs done.
All this "Britain may sink to a minor country" stuff is ture only because our economy isn't growing and the world, ourwith the EU, is growing at an average of 5%. Thus we, this tear, sank behind Brazil and in 12 years will have half the FDP of Brazil (actually probably less since Brazil is slightly outpacing the average).
If Cameron actually cared about preventing the decline he is talking about he would go gor at least world averahge frowth rates whuch could be done by increasing electricity generating capacity by more than world average rates. The 1:1 correlation between growth and power usage is undeniable. We are in recession because our power capacity is being deliberately reduced.
But doing something would mean admitting all the windmillery was a waste of money (well though it rewarded his father-in-law) and letting the nuclear and shale gas industries go free. And admitting what a useless parasite he has been up to now.
So he lies instead & deliberately maintains the decli8ne he says he wants to end.
NC, yes, that's a good example.

, rich or obscenely rich, middle or upper class, banker or bureaucrat, yes, everyone who matters.
