Jeff, here's the result of your longtermeconomicplan.Both UK median household income and GDP per person have declined since the start of the economic downturn. In 2013/14, median disposable income was £500 (or 2.0%) lower than in 2007/08, while GDP per person in 2013/14 was 3.1% below its 2007/08 level. Most of the decrease in the value of the median disposable income occurred between 2009/10 and 2012/13, with median incomes in 2012/13 £1,200 (or 4.9%) lower in real terms than in 2009/10.

Last year this from Labour:G4S Chief Accepts 73% Pay Rise
April 2015
Ashley Almanza has been chief executive of G4S since May 2013, taking over from Nick Buckles in the aftermath of scandals connected to G4S’s role in the 2012 London Olympics. Almanza has now been awarded 73 per cent pay rise, as a reward for making G4S profitable again. In 2014 he earned £2.5 million; in 2013 he earned roughly £1.9 million, thanks to the addition of a significant cash bonus to his base salary.

On Labour’s analysis, if the Met had to cut its budget by £100m in 2016-7, it would have to trim police numbers by 1,298 if it relied on officer headcount reductions alone to achieve that level of saving. If the same level of saving was required for each of the four years, 5,194 posts could be at risk. Gareth Thomas, shadow London minister, said: “George Osborne’s plans for cuts in Metropolitan police funding ... would have a devastating impact on the quality of policing in London and be the final death knell for high visibility, bobby-on-the-beat local policing.”
Jack Dromey, the shadow policing minister, said: “The first duty of any government is the safety and security of its citizens. But from Lincolnshire to London, the message is clear. The immense cuts to our police service is undermining neighbourhood policing and putting at risk public safety and the protection of the vulnerable.”

As for Greece, I have lost all respect for Merkel and the rest of the EU leaders. Greece will tell them to get stuffed, they are too proud not to.
Given capital controls are in-place, why not just convert everything to a new currency, default and move on.
You need a balanced budget to survive so collect taxes. Tourism season isn't over yet and next years will be a cracker. I am sure Putin will provide huge energy discounts in return for Greece vetoing every single EU measure against him.
And finally, the threat that Greeks are voting on their eurozone future on Sunday makes the front page of the Tuesday’s Guardian and the Financial Times:
Paul johnson @paul__johnson
No vote means you are out of Euro. Tomorrow's Guardian front page
FT: EU tells Greeks: You’re voting on the euro
Tuesday is going to be historic too -- with Greece’s bailout on track to expire at the end of the day, and an IMF default perhaps inevitable too.
And as it’s just turned midnight in the UK, I’d better stop. Thanks all, and goodnight. GW
