I noticed 3 news items yesterday. Lloyds laying off 100s of workers near Aylesbury, Borders to go under, Gordo stating he's encouraging more Chinese and Indian on-shoring.
Add in the fact that local councils up and down the country are making severe cuts, and that national government will have to make 10% cuts next year, and we're looking at a very grim future.
Luckily we have an economic genius in charge.

The people who sell and fit furniture in the Job Centres are happy as so many people have been recruited by DWP this year to deal with the record number of Jobseekers.
The builders who fitted the new, much bigger counter in the Benefits Dept of the local council were probably glad of the work, too.
So, it's all growth round here.

National Statistics released revised 3rd quarter GDP figures this morning that show a smaller decline than at first thought. The chances are that the fouth quarter will be positive and the recession may have finished last week.Comment
