It appears to us that most things sold on the high street are produced outside the UK, so can't see how stimulating the retail sector is going to have any impact on job creation except perhaps in China.

Well said Halifax.
The culture of getting rich in a week adds to the problem as our children are getting too lazy to do real productive work. Cameron thinks money and finance can help, as against education and culture.
"BBC is responsible the MOST", I think. They should not follow other media, but lead us to the right direction, promoting education and the "right culture". Sex, art and music cannot help the country. Check Germany, they start the work at 8:00 and finish at 16:30, 100% productive unlike Spanish, Italian and French who waste two hours for lunch.

Sorry chaps buy your obviously not looking at this the way as an economist would do. Doesnt matter if the goods are from china or anywhere else for that matter. We are talking about stimulating and getting the multiplier and accelarator effect going in the economy.
Cutting vat would do that as it gives people more money to spend. That money in turn would lead to opportunities for employers here and abroad to expand and create more and this goes on and on.
Dont forget if we have money to spend on say US/Chinese products their manufacturers grow. Their workfore in turn has spending power to buy british goods and expansion occurs.

As for your point above totaly agree ahoj. the X factor and shite like that are helping to create a get rich quick attitude without doing the graft and also getting an education.

as for economists generally they haven't got a clue and have never run a business, their predictions like journalists are invariably proved wrong but nobody has enough time to call them to account in retrospect.we don't think the average factory worker in say China is going to buy a jet engine from Rolls Royce more likely to buy rice which unfortunately we don't grow in the UK. Your Ed Balls argument lives up to his surname.

cutting vat would significantly reduce the tax intake and make it more difficult for the government to reduce the deficit they inherited from labour, a much better tax reduction would be to reduce national insurance "contributions" and income tax thus stimulating job creation and the spending power of individuals.
