What can we do about the area that is damaging our recovery?

Well you can continue poking them with your little short inadequate tory stick until they get pissed off and bite your sorry tory @rse I suppose. Since it was the tories in the south east that sold off Britain's industries and sold the north and Wales down the river, let them go to Hell and take their traitorous greed fuelled trashy families with them. They do England no service at all. They never did. The working man is England's stregnth.
