Is the UK going to recover from this one?

[TimberWolf]

From the recession that is. Might be different this time. We are much more densely populated than ever before and have little in the way of raw materials to bail us out of this one. A lot of people assume it is just a recession like many before, part of a normal boom and bust cycle, but maybe it hasn't even started yet.

But we're not in recession. We have positive growth.

We could pay off the national debt by outsourcing more jobs to India, but I expect George has already thought of that one

Scotch whisky sales are booming so we not completely out of exports. Your post suggests we can no longer postpone the inevitable which if true means we can get the bust out of the way in the near future. People still need to eat, keep warm, chat and get about so equilibrium and boom will surely follow.

Oh come on!

We're even outsourcing crime. our poor british rapists, murderers and thieves are practically out of work as the ex eastern block EU partners and Non EU immigrants vie for their positions.

Recessions are for poor people.

Try booking a table at a top restaurant, or buying a new supercar (and see the waiting list), or a riverside apartment overlooking Westminster Abbey or a suite at a five star hotel.

The economy is booming.

Then why don't they put their prices up until there's no waiting list?

Welcome back Mr Berlusconi:
"The life in [insert country here] is the life of a wealthy country, consumptions haven't diminished, it's hard to find seats on planes, our restaurants are full of people".

He resigned a week later.
