Talking to my financial consultant

He predicts:

that the effects of the recession will dissipate early next year.

House prices will rise dramatically

Manufacturing and export will increase dispte the meteoric rise in the strength of the pound.

Banks will increase lending at lower rates

Do you think he's a little demented?

Ok, <rolls up sleeves>

The VAT increase on 1st Jan has little impact on the economy. Retail sector stats are up slightly at end of Q1. More talks of green shoots. All is well.

Q2 General Election. Landslide Tory win. We are saved, yada yada yada.
More green shoots, but public spending cuts.

Q3 Countries start to default one by one, starting with America. Food shortages in the US. Rioting in the US. Dollar collapse triggers other currency collapses, including the pound.

Q4 Financial meltdown.

HTH

PS Tottenham win the Premier League and FA Cup.

Doomed, please approve my visa application so I can emigrate.
We've had the election and ended up with a coalition government.
The UK loses its AAA credit status and the pound plummets.
Unemployment reaches 7 million.
