  • Oh No! now IMF, Bloomberg,Reuters,Mark Carney BOE ... and as I predicted at Xmas.. Fitch rating agency dont believe Osborne's bigging up of the employment figures - all expecting unemployment to start mirroring the sinking economy and get worse - another downgrade! Hmmmn, one chap is right but all the worldwide experts are wrong (Starting to wear a bit thin for George .... needs a new angle!)

  • LoL - no, this one's too good! Just watching BBC News Channel about Fitch new downgrade of Britain where economics editor (Hugh Pym?) was explaining how Osborne's been instructed to 'ease off on austerity to facilitate growth' ahem....

    (sounds a bit like what Labour's Ed balls has been saying...)

    Outspending the Tories is just like Labour's economic management of the 70's..........
  • Money makes money - no money makes... no money! Only question now is - how will Cameron try to pass this off, so voters dont notice he found out Osbornes plan was foiled by a twenty yr old Harvard student.... maybe a 'stepping aside' or a break thru stress... Either way unemployment is now unstoppable - a tidal wave in fact.

    Good news for you I guess, not so much for people that lose their jobs.

    Your line of thinking leads directly to the Gulag. That's the despicable thing about Socialism.

    Amazing how much love and respect DLW has for Finch and Co and how much be loves and admires the IMF; a classic wet conservative
  • its been suggested for sometime now that unemployment will peak later this year at around the 2.75 million mark,and then flatline for a year before any real falls are seen,after all its been above 2.5m for sometime now
    the more worrying figure in some respects are the 1.5m people working part time who want/need to work fulltime,these people are adding in no small way to the welfare bill

    It shows really how Thatcher won the centre ground that even someone who probably considers himself to be on the left wing of British politics would have been on the right wing of Conservativism in the 1970s. It's no bad thing that even what DLW believes in is now seen for the extremism that it is as wishing for people to lose their jobs to make a political point is pretty despicable IMHO.
