You might say "we can't afford it" but I say it doesn't matter. We need to make the investment now to reap the rewards in the future. Put up the money now, bare the cost and take the money when things improve.

And this doesn't just extend to expenditure, it goes for taxes too. Tax rises are never popular but right now they are necessary, especially as the rich have been winning big over the last decade and a half with more than charitable tax cuts from the Tories. Time to reign it in.
The last government saw the largest transferance of wealth from poor to rich in recorded history. That is an utter disgrace. Whilst people were made homeless and using food banks to feed their kids, we were making more billionaires every year. It's disgusting.
And yes I will say it - billionaires should not exist. There is never a reason, in my eyes, to have a billion of anything. It's hoarding and when the majority have so little money, it's disgusting that so few have so much and only get more.
And all this money that billionaires rake in isn't being invested back into the economy to help it grow, it's just being put into hard assets, like fine art or large houses. And Britain is one of the worst offenders of this. We're no longer a nation - we're a hedge fund with a country attached.
Imagine what we could do with the money that is being hoarded by these people. Imagine the problems we could fix. Homelessness, gone. The NHS, fixed. Infrastructure, fixed. There is so much money sitting around being useless when we need money now more than ever.
The enemy of the common man isn't immigrants - it's the billionaires. They are the enemy. If we put as much energy into talking about billionaires as we did about immigration, we might actually get some genuine change in this country.
