& sponser Greggs to introduce blue food colouring to all sandwiches and pasties.
But at least the LibDem's promise they'll let me be in a democracy if they win
Only because they have no chance of winning.

They might get the deciding vote in a hung parliament one day
It will be then that they betray me
It will be then that they betray me

What liers these politicians. First they claimed there was no recession till they could not hide the facts any longer, and now they claim the economy will be back up and running by the end of the year.. haha :D
I am quite intrigued about the drug debate on here too.
Nicotine and alcohol are two of the most poisonous substances on Earth and happen to be legal as they had the good fortune to be discovered earlier in history.
Heroin is very bad and should never be legal in any way. Curiously methadone, it's "official" replacement is about 12 times more addictive and the amount of addicts that have been in government sponsored rehab programs that involve weening addicts off horse and onto methadone and then go clean can be counted on one hand...
A complete coincidence is that an average monthly cost is about £200 per person with an almost 0% reduced customer base - what a bloody brilliant product to sell from a company point of view!
Oh, and it was invented by the nazis...

jaize, I am of the other opinion. You see the UK economy especially real estate was totally dependant on a vibrant financial market and not relying on a maufacturing sector. The only British export of scale I could think of was military? And the fact that UK has too much debt now is scaring a lot of investors so much so that UK Government Bonds had difficulty in selling.
The financial market was a huge base of tax revenue for the Government but looks like the financial sector will never come back to what it was now that the hedge funds were the primary source of this crisis.
Would love to hear why you think the recovery will be so fast though.
When you have time can you please check this out.

You want another Scotsman in charge?
@Muhajir I think we were in downturn for a period, a slow down in growth. And wasn't officially recession (negative growth) until last quarter of last year. All the downturn hype didn't help consumer confidence atall. Might make it a quicker dip rather than a longer term problem, I think thats the plan and hope. I think we are most probably looking at bad news for longer than the Gov thinks.

I just think that this is completely out of scale for known economics and so, all things being relative, the debt is irrelevant. It is only numbers, not real money, that is why the Americans have gone so far down the debt route - I think that in a few years time the world will consolidate and write off debts all over the place...
would be great if the ordinary mans bank debt was written off like that now wouldn't it? :D
I just don't think countries investing their savings with other countries will write off the debt just like that and they would behave the same way a bank would when an ordinary home borrower defaults by seizing assets.

I am in agreement. It would take quite a bit of time for the economy to recover, not a "trampoline bounce back" as the conservatives said.
