Rising unemployment over the next 12 months would be bad. But it would not be a depression. Do you even know what a depression is?
if you disagree please explain?
For the record, if UK unemployment continues rising at its current rate, then in 12 months time there will be just over 2 million unemployed. The unemployment rate would be lower than in 2014. Were we in another great depression then? It would take another 4 years after that of continuing to increase at the current rate to hit the unemployment rate of 1984 - which was also not a great depression.
In reality if the economy carries on in this direction at this speed with this many businesses going under and this many become unemployed every month, then there will be the greatest depression ever in less than 4 years.
The question is will the economy keep crashing at this speed or will the decline speed up?The central planners are trying every trick in the book but we are now past the point of no return, they can create as many numbers into their bank accounts as they can, creating fiat currency out of thin air and adding it to the rapidly expanding currency supply will only speed up the decline.Why do you even feel the need to try and convert people on forums where the majority clearly disagree with you and the forum owners ban every account you create? Why not focus your energy on the financial worries you always post about? Surely that would be better for you and your family?4 -

I think they actually believe that they can trigger a house price crash just by confidently and repeatedly predicting it; kind of like a viral marketing campaign.

the virus will be gone soon, all businesses will open back up and everyone will go back into work soon.
you are not looking at the world through rose tinted specs and it’s wrong to be realistic
