At @democracycollab we seek to build a democratic economy through bottom up system change.

In fact, the lack of an industrial strategy worthy of the name is a far greater threat to UK national security than the supposed failure to meet artificial targets for increased ‘defence’ expenditure on American-made armaments that will themselves only add to risk and dependency.

This is part and parcel of a Westminster political and policy discussion utterly disconnected from real life. Economic policy is predicated on pursuit of a chimera, an example of the wholesale misdirection of political debates into areas that are largely beside the point.
