Considering a CS gas can and an auto paintball gun can be classed as firearms this isn't suprising

Printing will save the day, always has, always will. Course, we will need a new currency afterward: beans and guns.

UK economic growth revised up to 0.6%

Good news surely?

"The UK economy grew by 0.6% between July and September, official figures have shown, faster than previous estimates of 0.5%.

However, the growth estimate for the second quarter of the year was revised down from 0.1% to zero by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The office also said the UK's current account deficit in the same period was £15.2bn, the highest on record."

Source: BBC News - UK economic growth revised up to 0.6%

Just for the benefit of Freamonger this is the current account meant in the article.

"A deficit of £13.8 billion was recorded with the EU in the third quarter of 2011, compared with a deficit of £7.2 billion in the previous quarter."
