@MartinSLewis And guess what, I reported it to Facebook and they've determined there is nothing wrong with it! You really need to take them back to court over this because it is absolutely obscene that they can get away with this.

@bearnotpear2 @clairebubblepop I don't think it's that people want to pay more. It's that they don't object to paying more if others do too. On the understanding it improves public services etc. No one wants to pay more tax for the sake of it.

@fullabeanz @Peston Therein lies the challenge of figuring these things out and the unknown "what if" had different policies been followed. 14 years and they never got rid of the deficit, while at the same time destroyed public services.

@MrB46556527 @clairebubblepop @implausibleblog No one model is perfect, although some work better for certain things than others. Nationalisation only works if good quality oversight is in place. Make the leaders bonuses based upon the metrics that matter to the country.

@fluke777 @clairebubblepop @implausibleblog This is the problem with being driven by ideology. Water was never a good thing to privatise, what it needed was good oversight and investment. Whereas Internet/Telecoms has worked well as a privatised industry along with good regulation.

@DavidPe13793321 @Peston Public sector is quite varied in its efficiency. Some could indeed do with improvement. It's a battle that has existed for a very long time. So was present for all previous administrations. They had 14 years in power to fix it...

@fullabeanz @Peston Depends upon which measurement you use of course. In both cases governments had to deal with major events. Debt was under 65% of GDP in 2010 after bailing banks out, but today is over 99%. I don't think you can ever call events of the past decade anything like WW2.

@SkillsandLabour @Peston Of the last 10 months available GDP figures, 5 have had growth, three were zero growth and two fell. Hardly a record of strong economic growth is it. While debt has ballooned despite austerity.

@Deedy2201 @Peston The government debt versus GDP was 63.3% in 2009. Today it is 99.5%. how is that better? 6.33 million people on NHS waiting lists today compared to 2.4 million in 2009. What metric are you using? Because every one I'm looking at says it's worse today.

@knitman57 @DigbyStrong @GreenpeaceUK @DeborahMeaden This is only a guess, but our economy is heavily dependent upon financial institutions. Financial services depend greatly upon reputation and confidence. Being tough on financial crime helps with that.

@modery @JussiRoine Panels are generally supplied with a 25 year warranty. They degrade over time, but even after 25 years should be delivering at least 80% of their original capacity, and probably a fair bit more.

@natehiggins Funding local councils correctly can happen without changing the bandings. Sure there can be better ways to divide up the cost, but the real issue is the chronic underfunding of the past decade.

@EEHackSpace @Chelt_Hackspace I heard stories of this and people running away with the potato.

@Chelt_Hackspace Thanks!
