David Cameron tours SE Asia to boost UK trade and investment

The prime minister is in SE Asia th a week from Singapore not Malaysia to Indonesia etc to boost trade and investment

Recently the PM been in Singapore and if I were him I would implement the laws they have in Singapore and adapt it in the UK like fine for spitting or fine for having food or eating in public transport
Plus countries like Singapore always developing and building new architecture hence why the city can develop further and UK always falling behind in everything and Singapore is on top

As well as prime minister is wasting his time with only boosting tourism why would with these countries come here and invest in the UK with high taxes and high import charges SE Asian countries are ten times better with low taxes and if they want to expand they can go ahead be it e land airport or build new buildings
Here so much red tape and need to get permission or go through many people before project can go ahead plus protestors are in the way from further development
U don't get them in these countries UK has no shame

You really don't know what you're talking about do you?

Brand UK is actually rather strong. Many peole in SE Asia lap up British
Branded products and services.

The UK is one of the largest providers of foreign direct investment in the world.

What a load of bullsh*t ending that post. The country is soon to have the lowest corporate tax in the world making it extremely attractive for rapidly growing economies to invest in the UK. The whole red tape thing is nonsense, yes there is still quite a lot but compared to other countries and previous years it's not too bad. The current government is getting rid of as much of it as possible.

It's not just tourism, £750million worth of deals is not just tourism.

The trade mission isn't about adopting new laws etc, it's about signing huge deals for the UK economy to grow even further, provide more jobs and boost productivity.

but why would these SE Asian countries come here and invest in UK with high tax rates and high taxes unable to hire people and taxes in general to move forward and invest in the UK

Yeah, isn't half of London owned by foreigners? Even foreign state-owned companies own large sections of UK infrastructure, like railway companies.

And British companies will own large chunks of foreign ifrastructure.

That's true too.

Capital (money) flows around the world.

For some unknown reason, we in the UK seem to think that we're a failure.

This small damp island of Europe is the 5th largest economy in the world. It has a highly developed diplomatic service and is a permanent member of the UN Security Council as well as being home to the worlds largest financial centre.

I'm sure that Cameron's also talking to the areas commonwealth States and reminding them that the UK will still be offering them support against china sabre rattling in the area.

Government leaders like to talk, and it's always good to talk face to face.

Aren't the NYSE and NASDAQ both bigger than the LSE?
