So the government are trying to get 18-24 year olds to start their own buisnesses with a whole £2500 grants. What kind of buisness could you start with that little money?
Also should the government be activley encourage people to be starting buisnesses, most fail within a year, so aren't they just encouraging bankruptcy?

There is a whole train of thought here that I've skipped..But I want to write a book about an addictive drug that can be made out of processing human bodies, and that using human flesh/meat is the only way to make it.
That would make an awesome premis for a film/book.

That's the big thing about the vast majorty of people who I meet who have a website/buisness idea...... they forget that _buisness_ comes first. They'd have to buy stock of some kind, buyers of some kind, work out the profits.
And people who talk about all that, are generally to lazy to do anything beyond the initial concept, and their prime reason is so they don't have to work again. Those people will always fail in buisness and life in general.
