We all know it has cost between 4 to 8 % of GDP according to OECD and IMF.
John, you can defend it for as long as you wish but 2/3 of the UK population disagree with you// and are feeling some of the consequences every day.
THe lack of growth does not compare to Denmark, Poland, Spain, Portugal and Czech Republic, so your comparison with Germany and France does not stack up either.
