I don't get it.
We've had 15 years of austerity (and everything is shit) having listened to basically the same economists with the same ideas, none of which have worked out particularly well, have they?
Should we try a different approach? "Ha ha, no" seems to be the answer.

I'm going to guess that the "damning report" is written by a shady lobby group (of unknown funding) like the Tax Payers Alliance.

I don't think mass production is really viable in the UK any more unless workers are prepared to work for £1/hr.
But we've also lost so, so many people (retirement) who can make and design tools, prototypes etc. The last cohort of these is nearly finished retiring. When they go, it's finished.
