The only feasible way out is to slash public spending. The government spends £60bn a year on non-elected public bodies and "think tanks", which is £30bn more than Major's government managed to do. The axe desperately needs to be swung in that direction.
The tax system needs to be overhauled and simplified, with a 45% and even a 50% tax rate for higher earners and bonus payments above and beyond monthly salary payments. While I'm at it, the banks we've poured £100bn into should be targetted with increased tax bills until such point as the public get a return on their investments.
In the long term, I'd like to see Britain opt out of the EU...
