Is not the biggest abuse of the system and crusher of competative advantage strangulation of the aviation industry caused by excessive regulation and burocratic intervention as well as any political and tax loading to pay for a big brother state?
Yes.
Surely in any free market the market dictates? create freedom for that market and the competativeness comes naturally.
Yes, with caveats about the nature of the market. But we don't have a free market. We don't have a free global market. We don't have a free market between the USA and the EU. We don't even have a free market within the EU if different states play by different rules, which is the motivation for standardisation of rules at the EU level.
Was it not the Mrs T policy to load industry with the least amount of government and state intervention as possible now its gone the other way with maximum government intervention and needless interferance in every walk of life all costing the industry a strangling fortune and the very reason Europe is collapsing like a pack of cards? We cannot afford all that expensive rubbish anymore.
So "Europe is collapsing like a pack of cards" because the banks were
overregulated?
