Perhaps it could benefit us not to have a strapping economy then we would not have to give billions away, we could not afford to give health care to the world and benefits to all and sundry who arrive at our shores. And even more importantly we could not afford to go into wars that dont concern us.

Yes and it's main resource is it's 'work ethic ' and pride in its achievement.
If it wasn't for the dampening effect of E.Germany , Germany as a whole would be even more successful.
No I don't believe the report . A combination of our benefit system and the unions prevents it from happening. That's been the pattern since the last war.

modeler, the unions have had their teeth drawn - partly as a result of declining membership (more than half since 1979) and partly because fragmentation of industries/services by privatization or part-privatization and changes in living practices (such as the rise in on-line purchasing) mean that strikes no longer have the widespread effect that they used to.

That's true but the old socialist mentality is still there; as soon as they can use a bit of blackmail whether it's at holiday time , Olympics , the Jubilee or when the economy starts to pick up , up go the threat of strikes.
At a recent meeting discussing attitudes at work the Chairman of the local Labour Party summed it up rather well when he said: " Who do they think we are, B***** Germans !" I know what he means because I worked with Germans for a number of years, and it's a totally different mindset.
