We then cut taxes, but amazingly cut the huge Debt. It goes against the general point in this thread. Yep, we fecked it up in the last 10 years, but, reducing taxes and debt meant we were in a very good position in 2000. Unfortunately, we reverted to type again and based the last decade on selling houses and cars to each other model.* *Rather simplistic, but you get my point.

As a result lots of MNC(Multinational corporations) arrived creating employement, which lead to a larger tax take as PAYE workers are on a much higher scale(35-50%). This meant we were taking in far more tax despite having lower rates. Therefore we borrowed less.

The bone density has to increase for one and the bones in the pictures wouldn't be strong enough to support a body of that size. I think that's what they mean. I read up on the square-cube law thing that's meant to explain it, but it's a bit advanced for me.
