You're right about the shares going up.
Can only improve economy and spending power - and confidence. Just have to get out of Europe, or certainly most of their stringent measures and excessive laws. |

I am sure that my many friends in the UK are delighted to hear it. My friends include lawyers, accountants and various other professions and businesses who have never known it so bad!
Still if they keep saying things are getting better enough times, people may start to believe it in spite of their own experiences! |

By:
Part time jobs, unpaid interships, training fior no wages-anything to get them off the jobless lists.
Take a look on the employment agency websites how many applicants for each job! Easier to back a 50/1 winner than getting one of them there jobs! |

And don't forget spuds: potatoes dearer than ever ( for non-political reasons) but the knock-on effect on poor people will be huge.
£10 a bag already the case in places. Fuel prices sky high and due to rise. House prices falling, yet still way beyond the reach of at least two thirds of the population aged under thirty. Council tax due to be hiked yet again, even though many already struggle with current rates. |

council tax frozen and spuds only now getting back to the price they were 5 years back...

Rising rents have prompted a record 12,000 tenants who are struggling with arrears to contact a debt advice charity this year.
The Money Advice Trust (MAT) said the number of calls it had dealt with about rental arrears between January and August was the biggest in the 26-year history of its National Debtline and around double the number it received during the same period in 2007. The share of its clients who have fallen back with their rent is also increasing, and stands at nearly one in 10, compared with 8% last year and 6% five years ago. For the first time, people who rent their home now account for more than half of the total calls that the National Debtline receives, meaning tenants are also becoming mired in a broader range of debt problems, MAT said. The charity warned of a "dangerous spiral", with tenants sinking further into debt as increased demand in the sector pushes their rents up even higher. The rental sector has become overheated as people struggle to get on the property ladder, either because they cannot raise the 20% deposit often demanded by lenders or meet their toughened borrowing criteria. A report by the Yorkshire Building Society found that would-be first-time buyers face spending more than eight years saving for a typical deposit of £26,000. As more people remain in the rental market for longer, the increase in demand means that rents are pushed up further and tenants face an even tougher time meeting their payments. Rents rose for five months in a row to reach a new high in August of £734 on average a month, according to a recent study by LSL Property Services, which owns chains Your Move and Reeds Rains. |

Cant recall economists being trained to watch Tattersalls to see if soup kitchens or wine bistos will reach capacity? |

see - told ya
The UK economy emerged from recession in the three months from July to September, helped by the Olympic Games. The economy grew by 1.0%, according to official gross domestic product figures (GDP), which measure the value of everything produced in the country. Financial advice freely given for free, tar! |

As far as I know we do not have The Olympics in the next 3 months.
This country is totally and utterly fecked. |

it's far too early to be sure of anything
Firstly, the announced figure is an estimate and there are margins of error to be taken into account and the figure could be revised Secondly, the previous quarter was held down by the extra bank holiday meaning that it was easier for the 3rd quarter to rebound Thirdly, GDP in the last 12 months is completely flat so we need to see several quarters of growth to be sure of the trend from here and in particular growth in construction which fell 2.5% in this quarter alone Fourthly, 80% of the cuts have yet to be introduced and IMF recently changed the calculation they use to determine the effect of government spending on GDP. In effect, for every pound the govt spends the real effect is 2.5 times higher than initially thought (this is called the multiplier effect) so cutting spending now can be seen to have a much greater effect on GDP growth. The autumn statement and the spending review are going to be crucial So, although the GDP growth figure announced is certainly welcome it is far too soon to say that things are going to get much better soon. The longer term trend is for pretty flat growth with effectively zero growth in 2012 and as little as 0.5% in 2013. Inflation is expected to rise in the coming months due to fuel price increases and pressure on food and commodity prices too. The drop in inflation recently announced can be put down to fuel price hikes from 12 months ago dropping out of the calculation Hold on to your hats, it's still a bumpy road ahead especially with cuts still to come |
