Obvious obfuscation...

Good old Gordon: he realised his mistake and admitted it and now says his Darling Chancellor was right [about coming out of recession at the end of the year; his optimistic growth forecasts aren't so credible] and that he Brown now agrees with what Darling said 6 months ago...oops, just woke up... No, of course Gordon didn't say that, he just ignored everything he'd said before* and VOWED that HE would restore growth by the end of this year. So, no change there then, anything bad is ignored and nothing to do with him, and anything good is his doing. How quaint...I shall never forget what Gavin Corder told us, "I thought you might like to know that quaint once meant cunt."

*Brown told the BBC's Andrew Marr show on 27 September: "I think you'll see figures pretty soon that shows the action that Britain is taking yielding effect … There's a suspended judgment as people see us coming out of the recessions." [Guardian]

There's a big difference in the U.K between manufacturing outlook and consumer confidence and the latter has seen a resurgence in recent months. Look back a year and see what a gloomy state everybody was in with all the big closures coming up, talking to clients involved in manufacturing (and we do have a manufacturing base it's just different to the one us fortysomethings grew up with) and things are still moving very slowly.

yeah yeah yeah...but what I'm on about is Brown LYING...and doing so again today live in PMQs.

P.S. watching Barca and following the Arse vs. Liverfluke online....Real Madrid yesterday was a major...MAJOR upset.

I wasn't defending Brown.

yeah yeah yeah...jejeje

Sorry, I know you weren't defending Brown but my point wasn't how good or bad things were, clearly some things would pick up and clearly the UK will be out of recession sometime, maybe Q4 or Q1 2010 ...BUT Brown didn't say this and now he is...and saying he was saying it all along.

Recession or depression that's the question (ignoring Brown lying for a second), nobody can decide. I'll still stick by my thoughts that it will be 2011 at the earliest before we see any real growth in the economy.

"real growth"..indeed, but if it gets to 0.0001 percent growth it will be trumpeted as out of recession...I suspect it may but drop back down again, if previous problems are anything to go by.
