mj.scuba Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I hope this does not sway Osbourne & Co from making the cuts. Whatever happens to the economy, the government still has to bring down its expenditure and start to live within its means, can't go on spending on the never, never and bequething the debt for generations to come.

JFKvsNixon Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 No figs then Caparo to back-up your claim: 'Apart from the fact that half of the manufacturing industry was also shut down because they couldn't get folk in to work or supplies delivered'. Thought not. Manufacturing grew in the last economic period, the results were dragged down by the construction industry, which contracted by just over 3%.

wednesday1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Manufacturing grew in the last economic period, the results were dragged down by the construction industry, which contracted by just over 3%. Some manufacturers are holding back on investment and recruitment because they are not sure which way the economy will go ie recovery or double-dip. The construction industry is nose diving. Such a shame as 6 months ago the economy was motoring out of recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the manufacturing results are even better then, the increase should encourage the manufacturers who you say are holding back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if the previous Labour government hadn't made such a "Balls" up of running the economy people wouldn't have voted for the Conservatives or LiDems.

Labour left us with the biggest budget deficit in the G20. That on top of our debts. Not exactly a legacy to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our economy was predisposed to a bigger downturn than the rest of our European counterparts due to our reliance on the service sector ie property speculation and financial services. We all know under whom this started. Give you a clue, Milk Snatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, so the Labour government wasn't responsible for running the economy, so who do we hold accountable for the mess then? Also Labour's only plan to take us out of recession was to borrow money that nobody wanted to lend us. Even this shadow cabinet has learned their lesson and quietly dropped this plan, the problem is that they do not know what to replace it with. What cuts would you make?
