Quote: The UK's showing has improved steadily over the past three years: in 2012 the UK ranked 14th and in 2013 it ranked ninth. LINK A change in Gov. certainly makes a difference, but I wonder if the anti business stance of Milli et al will push us down the league tables again. Quote: Last year, the UK hit the 500,000 start-up mark for the first time in early December. This year, the nation hit the same milestone in early November. It is these people that make the positive difference for our and our children's futures, not the Whingers who are intent on raising as many hurdles as possible. Quote: Labour has clearly reverted to being a 1980s-style party of anti-capitalist class warriors obsessed with taxing and regulating everything that moves

Quote: Now in its fifth year, the index found that the top-performing entrepreneurial ecosystems in the world are the four largest English-speaking countries: the US, Canada, and Australia, followed by three Scandinavian nations - Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. More propaganda ...... and suffers because of that focus. turning a thing with merit into a PP Broadcast without integrity. I cannot see how a recently established study group can in any way be expected to provide you with evidence for such relative standings for the period before it was formed? I mean, it is quite feasible for me to assume that before the crisis that the UK would have been heading these tables ........... after all encouraging (and supporting) enterprise was a fundamental block of the 'Third Way' inclusive partnership with business introduced in 1997 a. It formed a large part of their 1997 manifesto.

A fantasy divorced from the truth.

Take any metric you like judged on an international basis and except for the negative ones such as debts or public sector waste as % GDP you will find that under the last lot the UK position declined, declined rapidly. Of course it is all a Tory conspiracy with the full cooperation of the international press and all of those that do such monitoring.

Of course it is all a Tory conspiracy with the full cooperation of the international press and all of those that do such monitoring. This is indeed immensely encouraging news and any member of our society capable of putting national interests before their own discredited left wing ideologies will no doubt agree. Particularly as current figures show that more people are in work than ever before and that at last real wage rises are filtering through to working people. The big concern must now be that in the economically damaging event of Miliband's Party of Spite and Envy with its anti-business stance, its spiteful anti-middle class tax measures, its anti-aspirational doctrine of envy (eg the proposed home tax and and effectively an increase in public school taxation) once again forming a government, so much economic improvement will be sacrificed on the cross of left wing dogma.

Oh; I see clearly enough! I see you making assumption after assumption, and then basing your entire argument on those tenuous conclusions.

Not at all Affa, best you look and see how easily your comrades dismiss that which they prefer not to hear. I would have thought an improving UK is something we should all applaud, even those that depend for their livelihood on tax revenues.

That new ratings agency findings are welcomed if their criteria are properly reflective, and I do celebrate any improvements to the UK's business environment when it results in more business (as opposed to less regulation). But I would not have written anything of what I did comment if you had not posted this >> Quote: A change in Gov. certainly makes a difference, but I wonder if the anti business stance of Milli et al will push us down the league tables again. You see; I was not knocking the research findings at all, but instead correcting a false statement of yours.
