There are many who are not factored into the 'official' figures and it wouldn't surprise me that the true UK unemployment figures are aroung the 5 million mark.
I blame Maggie Thatcher, thought I'd write that bit because you obviously forgot to slip it in :rotfl::rotfl:

However, often the "best" are not motivated by money. They are motivated by other factors such as a cause, self improvement, personal satisfaction and ambition etc.
Throwing more money at politicians will (IMO) attract more of the wrong candidates. Politicians should be passionate about the causes they believe in (e.g. representing their constituents) and a truly passionate person would even do this for free if they were not restricted by a need to earn sufficient money to support themselves / their family.
This is a great video; which looks into the motivation of reward.

Well if you buy British what will that do for pubs, clubs, hotels etc? Nothing so if someone can tell me how that will effect the industry I have worked in for the last 20 years then I will be wiser
Buying British will put money into the pockets of British workers who in turn will have disposable income to spend in British pubs, clubs and hotels.0
