I'm picking a shaped recovery.

Hey, all cynicism aside, good news IS good news, maybe it's not a recovery just yet, even a slowdown in the descent into anarchy is nice.

Yes, there are some big lawnmowers in the shed waiting to mow down those green shoots if Labour is not careful*, but to carry on the gardening metaphor, it looks like the worm may have turned.

* hey it's GBs Labour, OF COURSE they'll be careful

95% mortgages back

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/mon...cle6457271.ece

Next month we'll see 125% mortgages, self certified at up to 8 times your imaginary income, billion pound banking bonuses and AAA rating on everything.

Who says we never learn?

Let the good time roll. Looking forward to another 5 yrs of Browns steady hand!

That's lucky !! I assume that he won't need to borrow anything like that extra 700 Billion pounds.

Lets hope so, just don't buy anything and pay off your debts... kerching.

...Or is there more to it than that?
