How does "Green new deal" fit in with a ban on fracking?
There are already retrain/adult education opportunities through the Apprenticeship scheme, I`m doing an apprenticeship funded degree in Leadership & Management.
Security for tenants - Already there to a reasonable degree, Section 21 and all that stuff.
Building new Council Houses - I`ll give you that, the funding arrangement was a failure, but I bought one for next to nothing so it wasn`t all bad.
Nationalise railways- you weren`t alive in the days of British Fail and ASLEF (As lef the train down the track..) I`ll guess.
Free buses......... YES ! Or at least joined up public transport under law.
Educational Maintenance allowances - lets go back to the days when only the clever folk went for degrees and they weren`t in photography or yoga!
Support for small buinesses - Already there across the country - needs to be managed locally not nationally. Start local, then grow.
There is clearly a link.between in investment and productivity but that isnt the only thing.
I always find the French productivity numbers surprising. Is this purely due to investment ?
This blog is quite interesting
It suggests that the difference is in the many medium sized French cities with proper infrastructure. In Britain it tends to be London or nothing. The centralised and lack of proper public transport means Britain is either bloated london lolor neglected.
Germany also has a really robust set of regional cities
