Britain had the largest Mercantile trade in the world with the largest Merchant Marine, today it is not a blimp on the charts. The British Steel, Coal and Engineering Industries were home based and locally operated, not any more. Britain's Foreign Trade was secure without regulation (Empire Days), today it is competative and with regulation. Britain had no National Health, Universal and portable Pension Plan or heavy Social spending. Britain had no major deficit. I am ninety and a WWII veteran who lived during the times. I will also add that the population was mainly UK born so we did not have the same social disorder and bigoted segnents that we have today. Martin Hutchinson is a long way of mark.

Though there are some questions marks over Nick Clegg I believe Cameron will get the best out of him deputy as Prime Minister which is not an officiall role as such bearing mind chancellor the exquequer and other ministerial roles are very important , Nick Clegg tows the conservative line and acts in a supportive role . I believe this will in effect be a very Cameron government with his stamp on it and that is going to be great for the country I agree generally with these comments over the last few hours with the new prime minister David Cameron the situation for the Uk and sterling and the markets is looking much better.
