  • [FONT=&quot]Bailouts and tangible stimulus schemes may also help some, and the post-mortems on the economy would continue for several decades. But is time to find viable solutions? Businesses and banks still need bespoke turnaround survival strategies to reduce losses, improve organic and inorganic efficiency, increase revenue, gain sustainable competitive advantage, improve strategic positions, and outperform market competition. The results add real business values; create new business opportunities and jobs for investors who target undervalued growth sectors, niche and captive markets where consumer demand still continues to grow in double-digits annually to 2030.[/FONT]

    I liked the joke in that 'article' though.

    "The country's wealth is generated across a variety of industries and sectors"

    Ho ho ho.

    Channel 4 just opened their 7pm news with a graphic of Great Britain in the sea, slowly sinking with wonderful sinking and glugging noises. I think I get the symbolism okay, but I'll keep thinking about it incase there's a deeper meaning. It's all getting more and more 'The Day Today' everyday.

    A lot of 'days' in that last sentence, but I feel they were all relevent and necessary.

    Maybe we are going down on the rest of the world......... and the rest of the world are watching as well, bit embarrassing.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I think media sentiment has finally capitulated to the inevitable.
