Yes have to agree. Capitalism has not gone tits up, Capitalism is alive and kicking.
The top dogs of industry are salivating at their success, while the hard working employee is working harder to keep the wolf from the door!

To give you some perspective

The typical mortgage for an individual is 25 years; the National debt at its maximum (if you count it in the £trillions) is the equivalent of 4 years.

Now how much trouble is the UK in? Bearing in mind there is no debt collector after the UK.

Ewan,

Phrases like "the National debt at its maximum (if you count it in the £trillions) is the equivalent of 4 years" are so meaningless as to be nonsensical.

Why does it matter in what units you count it?  "equivalent of 4 years" of what?

"Bearing in mind there is no debt collector after the UK."  Really? What about the millions of people whose pensions have lent the government money by buying government bonds?  You think they don't want their money back?  You think the government could get away with not paying it back?

Keep spouting the nonsense.

Manufacturing in the UK is huge

Yeah right. I personally don't know anyone who makes anything!! Check your stats again, i think you'll find as a percentage of population head we manufacture next to nowt !!!!
 If you can describe our manufacturing industry as 'huge' at present, how would you of described it when we made everything from tyres,cars and washing machines etc........'collosal' ?

Oh, for heaven's sake.  If you're a self-employed windy you are a capitalist. Don't think "capitalism" is something that happens only to some kind of "elite".  If you own a sweaty rag to wipe a window and you (rather than a government) decide who you work for and what services you offer, then you are a capitalist.

If you want to talk about a failure of big business or big banks or whatever, fine, but don't use "capitalism" as shorthand for it.

You are a capitalist.  Don't knock it.

Ewan,

Phrases like "the National debt at its maximum (if you count it in the £trillions) is the equivalent of 4 years" are so meaningless as to be nonsensical. Really, it just means you have no idea to the amount of wealth this country has.
Why does it matter in what units you count it?  "equivalent of 4 years" of what? Went over your head that one, its in comparison to the example
"Bearing in mind there is no debt collector after the UK."  Really? What about the millions of people whose pensions have lent the government money by buying government bonds?  You think they don't want their money back?  You think the government could get away with not paying it back? Of course they want there money back, who wouldn’t. The government will blame the stock market/ the Banks the poor poor economy or Mrs Jones and people like you will continue to buy it.
Keep spouting the nonsense.

Vin

You know what, Ewan, I think you're right.  You actually do know more about everything (including about what I think and believe) than I do.

And I've just remembered, I'm breaking my golden rule (below).

Carbon Fibre poles at £500 plus a pop are a British success story.

I personally know a number of people who own businesses that do manufacturing, so get to hear all the news coming from China, Indian and how that affects the European manufacturers.
The last bit of news I heard a couple of weeks ago is that a lot of work is coming back to UK/Europe because of the poor quality from Indian & China (still lots of moans from the owners of these business about Indian & China, British mentality!)

 Are you sure about that?
