Question is Kickstart is what do we import enmasse?.... and is it enough to bridge the 10bn EACH month trade deficit.
I'm fairly sure that BAE doesn't export 10bn a month worth of wings, nor the Honda engine factory in the South , or the Nissan plant in the north (which as Clarkson says come pretty much complete in boxes off container ships and require a couple of screws to complete).
I can only really think of aircraft wings , weapons (declining), mercenaries (who keep the money for themselves anyway) and software , also financial services.
All high end items , in a world wide recession nobody'll have money to buy our exports and things like food will be in greater demand, ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Even the software and financial services will benefit. Currency drops (say) 50% which makes imports less viable and hence domestic "products" (which could be food, software, a help desk monkey, etc) more viable.
All the best

precis weak pound fails to significantly boost exports:
Also take from somebody else
Weak pound is going to nothing for most of UK manufacturing.
The cost base is too high, the (housing & .com) bubbles have obliterated any chance of a large proportion of the productive base ever considering growing in this situation, they can't afford it, they can't afford the land, they can't afford the premises and the staff can't afford to work in a competitive environment either because their fixed costs.
An economically deadly bubble.
Worse, as the banks are bailed out and suck up every last penny of money that should have been actively invested and used to make industry and growing companies more efficient it is those companies that get most starved of funds or simply do without because of the cost of them.
A double deadly bubble - look at the collapse of the shareprices of the minnows. Lots of good IP and ideas will be bought up for pennies on the pound when the foreign companies take advantage of a sinking pound and this situation.
Then there will be very little left - a few companies that are isolated from the bubble and sod all smaller companies ready and waiting to grow - no recovery, no 90's bounce, nothing. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

If you repeat drivel often enough it doesn't become a truth. i forget to post on drivel sometimes as some of the people on the posts don't matter. some think if they post the last post then they have "won". it is the internet, you are not important to me, get over it.
from time to time you may post a valid point but it is lost in the tripe. All your internet posturing means diddly squat. It doesn't matter how many poor sexual references you make, it doesn't make your point or the drivel more or less right or relevant.
Just remember, to me you are not important, you don't mean anything. I just think it is amusing how you need the affirmation from others to gain your worth.
and it is because I am open minded that the narrow minds of others become so apparent. We all know that there are wrongs in the world and society, but I also know that there is a lot of good too with many shades between.
There are cover ups and there is a need to know. There is also a here is everything. It is knowing what to view as false and what not to. it doesn't require the likes of you to ram the narrow minded views constantly until it becomes lost in the petty drivel.
If you don't like my posts you too can set me as enemy, but if you did that to all who find you mildly pathetic you wouldn't have anyone to argue with or rant to.
I will just carry on reading the views expressed by the people on this forum and comment as and when I see fit for me to do so, without, would you believe it, your permission. Or is that the freedom of speech you say that others are trying to restrict us from using? ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

what is it with all the "your achieving nothing"..this is a forum..people talk here,people share there views here..no ones trying to save the world here,they are simply talking about it.
i have shared my views and bought few subjects up in the last few weeks,and all you have done in that time is attack them,and call them "useless drivel" and added many other interesting comments:lol:
im just treading water
