Green shoots

[BrilloPad]

Has anyone seen any? I know some people in motor trade and construction. They still think things are dire.

I suppose if the economy has grown atall in Q3 its better than the contraction we have just been through. But hardly green shoots.

Its tough when money is concentrated in the hands of the few so does not flow round the economy properly. I struggle to see where growth is going to come from for a few years yet.

Rubbish! How many firms are members?

according to the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC).

Based on its survey of 7,593 UK firms, the BCC said the economy grew by 0.5% in the third quarter.

Do you _still_ not get it ?

Money isn't concentrated in the hands of the few but the many - The many Chinese and Indians and other former Third Worlders benefitting from globalization.

Looking at Asia, most of them are still incredibly poor - their economies are doing well. A bit like the UK in Victorian times.

But looking at the UK, all the money printing has done is get money flowing round the banks. Not nearly enough has fed through to the real economy.

You can pretty much ignore the GDP figures these days.

We're on a nice downward tragectory for a good few years regardless of what they show.

Inflation will go pretty wild i suspect.
