    The economy is sound.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4976180.stm

    More than 23,000 people became insolvent in England and Wales during the first three months of 2006 - 73% more than in the same period last year.
    The figures from the government's Insolvency Service will add weight to the view that 2006 could see record levels of personal insolvency.

    Experts have blamed the rise in insolvencies on greater personal debt and higher unemployment.

        I could leave my current job today, confident that I would be able to find another before this time next week. (How many people could say that in the eighties). On that basis the economy is sound. 23,000 muppets who aren't able to budget properly out of a 60million plus population is a drop in the ocean. Those idiots would be equally unable to budget properly under a tory government.

          Ah, the socialism of "I'm alright, Jack". On the other hand, how many other people only have a future of benefit dependency, McJobs or Tesco shelf stacking to look forward to, the real economic miracle of those 1,000,000 new jobs created?

              I don't have an 'I'm alright jack' mentality at all

              I'm simply pointing out that the economic outloook isn't half as gloomy as you lot would have it.

              You've been forecasting a crash on these boards for the last six years and it still hasn't happened.

              House prices continue to rise. The IT market is on its way back after the recession post Y2K. Nothing the tories could have done would have averted that because most companies blew years of IT budget on the issue. The building trade is buoyant. Inflation under control. If you want to work you can.

              Booh f@cking hoo you pay tax. That's life I'm afraid.

              The main problem I have in this country at the moment is the chav underclass cultured by years of tory mismanagement.

              closely followed by the wannabe middle classes who are never satisfied.

                Oh well, no point arguing over what might be if the Tories were in.

                We have our Tone and soon Gordon, so let's not get het up over it.

                What's a bit of extra tax anyway, a few pence here and there, compared with the social and economic miracle?

                  That's because economy is steaming ahead on building more and more debt: one day it will have to be paid for and thats going to be very very painful - legacy of Brown will certainly be remembered in books on macroeconomics, probably not the way he would like it to be remembered.

                    Benn0: I could leave my current job today, confident that I would be able to find another before this time next week.

                    Translation: I'm alright, Jack
