the media GRUDGINGLY admitting we are out of recession

Have you looked at the breakdown of the figures pandora? Its not good reading.

O.1% growth reekes of the very best fudge in fudge figures history sing Fudgy Fingers Fudgy got his fudgy finger.

Government Propaganda

Ferk me! Are you actually accusing the BBC of being pro Tory??

0.1% is an estimate and it could be revised but I noticed how grudgingly it was being reported on the BBC this morning

BTW I don't think the BBC is a Tory bastion. Just watch 'Survivors' tonight for an exercise in liberal box-ticking.

Nonsense but what do you expect from Panborer.

Nobody is asking the difficult questions of government such as what would the figures look like without all the massaging, funny money, stimulus and theft from our children?

Walk along any high street in the country and look at the empty shops.

Visit any industrial estate and look at the empty units.

Then tell me we are out of the recession.

Went out last night, ghost town, nobody is spending money on holidays thats for sure....

About time Gordon stepped out into the real world.

ITS GOING TO GET ALOT WORSE,YOUVE SEEN NOTHING YET,

You're right Doo Wah.

Nearer10 years than 5 before we get out of this mess.

do you remember the good ol` days before the ghost town?

But if Gordon hadn't printed money, gave us car scrappage, kept the banks afloat with money from the future etc etc, we'd be in a 30s style Great Depression.

And then what would you be saying about him? Poor fella can't win. Damned whatever he does.

Yes if it wasn't for Gordon our economy would be totally **ed like the rest of Europe

Hang on...................................

Perhaps if he and his predecessor hadn't wasted so much money elsewhere (or sold all our gold at rock bottom prices) he wouldn't have had to use so much of 'our' money to keep the banks afloat etc

Arsene talks a lot of sense (apart from when its about Arsenal)

The fact that you fundamentally misunderstand the Great Depression doesn't instill confidence in your view of the actions of Brown. As the Great Depression showed, you can either throw the kitchen sink at it and have a long painful drawn out deterioration or you can take the lessons of history and allow the collapse which was always followed by a much quicker recovery. They gambled on the former and lost. War ultimately saved them a decade later.

Gormless Clown has followed the actions of the American government during the depression and stuck a great big cherry on top.

All he can do now is pray that the rest of the world helps pull us out of the mess he has created. Lets see where we are in 5 years time.

Reality is, we in Britain have enjoyed a standard of living 5x that of most of the planet.
It has ended, big style! internet and global deals mean the world economies will level out. That means Brits giving up their share of wealth to rest of the worls. You can't stop it.

I thought Maggie sold all the family silver. I guess my memory must be failing! :D

biggest laugh yesterday was gordon brown lecturing football clubs about spending more than they earn. What a cheek

Gordon Brown has completely fked up the economy, anyone saying otherwise is completely deluded. Our "good times" were almost exclusively funded with insane levels of debt, which were entirely controllable by him as chancellor.

Basically the entire country took out the most gigantic loan and blew it all on parties, hookers and alcohol. Now we've woken up and realised what sh!t we're in, and our solution seems to be to take out even bigger loans.

This will end badly.

the good news is Cameron will only be shafting the workers, as he needs the middle class to win the next election.

The greatest economic minds on the planet disagree about the causes of the Great Depression, but you know better. Yeh, right.

Not true, Lampus and Lozzy have long argued over the nuances.

Tories sort out the mess, everyone ends up hating em because of it, Labour get in, splurge it all again, Tories sort out the mess.....

Round and round and round we go

If we are out of recession then I'm a succesful gambler.

I guess that he must have done it for most of the rest of the world as well then - well either that or I am completely deluded.

So that was what Norman Lamont was doing when he wasted all that money trying to prop up the pound making fortunes for currency speculators. It was like someone continually laying a horse at 3-1 when everyone else knew it was an even money chance.
