Put on top of that the fact that the whole world is looking at Britain and saying how is this country going to pay its way in the future. They are looking at other countries like Greece who can't pay their way in the future and you see savage spending cuts, big cuts in pay.

One of the big problems we have in this country is that not enough people understand how important it is to save, understand the details of credit card statements, to be able to compare different APRs and the like. I support the idea.

Each time I come it's amazing to watch the development of this incredible country [China].

Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.

Just as we should never balance the budget on the backs of the poor, so it is an economic delusion to think you can balance it only on the wallets of the rich.

British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.

I think you can look at the British economy with confidence.
