"@EdConwaySky Tis good you've covered this topic Ed. The private sector uses the "gearing ratio" as a measure of solvency (total liabilities / total assets). Can't see why govt can't use the same. As for asset valuation I'd say stick to historic cost. New investment would lower gearing ratio"

"@Frances_Coppola Hi Frances. I agree the govt debt rule should be changed to PSNW. It's an example of accountants leading the way eg the gearing ratio used in the private sector is total liabs / total assets. PSNW is total liabs - total assets. It's crazy that so many govt assets are omitted"

"Mrs Thatcher rejected adoption of an insurance funded health system on the grounds of cost. Just as motor mechanics will charge more for repairs if they know insurance is paying so it would be with healthcare NHS costs the taxpayer 152.6bn a year. A shame we dont have politicians courageous enough to move towards an insurance based health system like most developed countries. Instead more pledges to throw taxpayer money into the NHS black hole. NHS costs the taxpayer 152.6bn a year.

The latter qualification captures pensioners and other claimants .@Dannythefink onto something.

"If someone's primary income is dividend income they are not working people. Their income is being derived from someone else's labour not their own. I am very interested in the view of pollsters strategists and policy makers since I may be wrong about this but unlike (say) all that nonsense about meeting Taylor Swift this does seem like a serious political error.
