Nationalisation

Certain industries should be nationalised, such as:

- British Steel

- Water

- The Railways

The UK should look to Singapore as a role model.  From Google's Gemini:-

Singapore boasts a highly developed, open, and pro-business mixed market economy, known for its strong infrastructure, investments in education, and a business-friendly regulatory environment, consistently ranking among the world's most competitive economies. 
Key characteristics of Singapore's economy:
  • High-income economy: Singapore is a high-income economy with a high GDP per capita. 
  • Open and pro-business: The economy is consistently ranked as one of the most open and pro-business in the world. 
  • Strong infrastructure and investments: Singapore has made significant investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public services. 
  • Competitive economy: It is among the world's most competitive economies. 
  • AAA sovereign credit rating: Singapore is the only country in Asia with a AAA sovereign credit rating from all major rating agencies. 
  • Dirigiste characteristics: The economy has dirigiste characteristics, meaning the government plays a significant role in the economy through ownership of government-linked companies and investment through sovereign wealth funds. 
  • Economic freedom: Singapore is known for its high degree of economic freedom, as measured by indicators like rule of law, limited government, regulatory efficiency, and open markets. 
  • Recent economic performance: In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Singapore economy expanded by 5.0% year-on-year, moderating from the 5.7% growth in the third quarter. 
  • Future outlook: Singapore's Trade Ministry expects growth of between 1 and 3 percent in 2025.

God's Plan with Mankind has been in the making for the past 6,000 years but the final Endgame comes into full force this weekend ahead of the beginning of the Sacred Year this coming Tuesday, 9 April. Politicians and businessmen think they have a generation left to "solve" Climate Change, but God promises that "for the sake of the elect", "time will be cut short".  This is not to give up hope - we will all be judged for our actions in these Last Days, and we are admonished to do all in our might not to destroy the Earth. ...

Prayer and Tablets

I pray to God, and He answers by talking back to me through an inner voice.  I draw great comfort from this, knowing for sure than I am not alone. Tonight, I have taken 2 paracetamol tablets on top of my regular medication.  The front part of my forehead hurts, from temple to temple.  It is a dull kind of ache. The final Laodicean Church puts its faith in doctors and medicine above healing from our Creator, God!

An Introduction

CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS - BY 2026 NOT 2050! To: My nieces and nephews, Lydia-Jo, Edie, Lizzie, Jake, Sam, Harry and Hollie THANKS & INTRODUCTION I would like to thank Erik Senior, Douglas Crawford-Brown, Caroline Kaufmann, Dr. Kay Ullmann, Brian McDonnell, Manish Agarwal, Benjamin Warr, Gillian Hartill and Peter Goldmark for their contributions to this solutions-focused book. The material it contains has been the product of over a decade worth of thinking and studying the subject from every conceivable angle, and has taken me on a personal journey through business and academia, from conviviality to solitude and back again - during which I have also read and studied over 100 books on the subject.  I hope this book serves as a useful reference to for those interested in the most pressing issue of our age.  Please feel free to comment. Yours, STEFAN RIGBY LUDGATE MA(Cantab.) ACA MBA(INSEAD), aka Stefboy73
