Biggest slump in high street sales for two decades

My thoughts / observations on this matter.
There was a time in UK when there were manor's, under the auspices of a Lord, there were quite a few of these scattered around the country. During the recent past everyone has wished to become ' Lord 'of the manor, sit back, do nothing, be well paid for it, applying indeed even to working people, to include especially, benefit, drug, alcohol, society. This cannot be so, at this time. China, Asia,......Africa, Ethiopia, Sudan. At this time, what 'should' apply is, "the Englishman's home is his castle" bread on the table, this of course relevent to finance, along with what used to be savings, living within ones means, and the means of the country, the real Lords, and what scraps they wish to throw from their banqueting table ! Coffers may well run dry ! Priorities are an important factor. Slum clearences after the war, an initial sucess in one respect, or so it appeared. Long term ?
NHS,..... attitudes,.... greed. We are today, living in today, having to put right what was neglected, or entirely wrong, in the past, along with selling / mortgaging our future.
Where is our industrial ,global might / power, influence ? Same place as our rail network, canals, shipbuiding, coalmines, steelworks, motorbike, motor car, truck, bus, building, where has 'all 'our industry, the fruits of, at least for Mr average' gone. ' Enter The Mega / Super Rich.' I suppose UK at this moment has world wide financial clout, or does it.? 'Momenterily' indeed very momentarily,... mayby ! French government 'EON' wishing to control our power supplies, along with Mddle East, and every other mega rich, high flying, gambling cowboy ! Attitude, manners, all gone. UK must retrieve what was good / logical from the past. Must get back on course, back to common sense, or what most of us consider to be English / or 'cricket 'dear boy, 'cricket' What of the slum clearances of post war, the attitudes ? The individual endeavor.
Would the wealth or lifestyle of the individual from the past support so many lords of the manor, the lifestye we have today. Out of touch with reality. Unrealistic, unpaid for, mega greed, m**** ignorance, apathy. Too many after too much, uncaring, unprincipled. A world of accountants, laywers, cowboys. Where are the philosophers , workpeople, working people, backbone of the country, probably looked down on.
Sensitive, caring people, many, I'm sure, will be in care, suffering mental problems, is an increase pending.
