Part of economy

This country has taken two hundred years to build up a body of law and regulation. Farm and food standards, and employment legislation for instance. Or for that matter limitations on the freedom of the press.

Today, we have allowed ourselves to become part of a global economy and , as a result, all that we have achieved could be jeopardised.

We are quite obviously subject to the blackmail of global corporations, able to move out of a country that does not suit them, and take their profits to convenient tax havens. Not to mention those who speculate in unreal markets, in order to make money out of money, without producing any goods or services.

One wonders if this suits certain Asian countries.

A new folly has arisen because of the world wide web. If we do not ensure that Providers serving this country are based in this country, we have little or no way to protect individuals and society generally from those who use them. Twitter?

If we have a global economy we must also have a global society, based on separate countries.
