    Yes, that’s the real problem. Despite so-called austerity the debt increases day by day.

    If Labour had their way the debt would be much worse! I’ve heard of people who try to borrow their way out of debt, they end up with bankruptcy and a stack of worthless credit cards.

    Unfortunately, none of the parties can stomach what must be done, it’s political suicide.

    True to a degree, but this government is attacking the ordinary people of the country, the constant drip feed of everyone on benefits is a lowlife scrounging scum bag, the attacks and cutting back on help for those on low incomes, the deliberate destruction and downgrading of jobs

    Yet miraculously directors of the FTSE 100 companies managed an average 27% wage rise, top earners and big corporations are still shifting money out of the country to tax havens unhindered, politicians are now just waking up to the extent of this, or more likely a better informed general public is getting increasingly resentful of the whole sorry mess.

    The ConDems have inherited a terrible situation. Our current woes are due to a combination of a terrible borrowing culture, benefits culture and the Labour party, we’re simply paying the price for it now. The ‘Ed Miller band’ would be no different.

    I don’t hold any stock in the current government, but anything is better than the two Labour governments we’ve had previously. We’ve all dug this hole for ourselves and we must now face upto it. If anything, the austerity measures aren’t enough.

    Or, we could just put our head back in the sand, wait for debt to reach 120% of GDP (widely believed debt threshold) and watch our country fall apart like Greece.

    So looking at its history it isn’t really worth rebuilding when you can I imagine get a ‘blooded’ MK.IX for probably a little less than the asking price and rebuild cost of this MK.XVI

    That’s what I was getting at.

    Fully restored, I doubt this Spitfire is worth more than £1m. Lovely as it no doubt is, and could be.

    Still, not voting, as many have stated this should be non-political yet all the candidates are calling themselves Independent, Conservative, Labour etc…

    Probably getting on for twice that depending on what is still missing and to do and what documentation is complete with it and ready/signed off.

    Seems like a lot for one of the less desirable models, not that I’m doubting you 🙂 (I personally like the low back models, but there’s no doubting that they don’t have the same mass appeal as the highback versions)

    Think I’ll wait until Burma opens for business 😀

    Interesting article, puts a different slant on the present conniving scheming gang in government, puts the lie to the need for austerity at this level.

    ‘The Huff’ is VERY Labour biased. Not what one would consider a credible source.

    The question is, what is it really worth as it is?

    £250k?

    I can’t help but wonder how America would feel if Iran flew drones 12 miles off their coastline.
