FT.com / UK / Politics & policy - Clarke makes ‘hands off’ vow to business.
Ken Clarke, shadow business secretary, vowed to defend Britain’s liberal takeover regime on Tuesday as he set out Conservative plans for a laisser faire approach to business based on low taxes, deregulation and less state support.
Staggering.
Leave them to get on and ruin things again.
When once again we'll have to bail them out. Because we won't have any choice, not unless we want melt down.
So what this really means is we'll keep giving subsidies to the largest companies and those who exploit them to extract massive rewards, all at cost to the rest of us.
You can't say they have learned nothing - they've learned this pays very, very well. Better than actually doing real business.

Surely it is better if business is left to operate without the knowledge that there is always a safety net if management act recklessly?

Your logic is impeccably wrong – and would cost us the economy, money and the end of democracy as we know it
Spot on then
