It's a phoney recession.

Or a scorched earth policy according to cynical Tories.

Some facts to cheer you up.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...ures-show.html

The Office for National Statistics disclosed that, in the three months to October, state workers received an average annual rise of 2.8 per cent. This was close to triple that seen in the private sector, where pay edged up by 1.1 per cent. Many private employees have been told that their pay will be frozen next year and have had Christmas bonuses withheld.

In addition to the jump in the pay of civil servants and other taxpayer-funded employees, the number of people on the public payroll has risen by almost a million in a decade.

Despite record levels of national debt, 23,000 public jobs were created in the three months to October. There are now 6.09 million state workers — up from 5.19 million 10 years ago.

They've never had it so good!

What ******* recession!
