wednesday1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Osborne cooking the books for the purpose of pulling the wool over our eyes might be a good reason why. Here's an explanation as to how $35bn is taken from the tax payer to achieve the appearance that we are not in recession. Things are much worse than Osborne's cooked books would have us believe. In other words, how Osborne makes money from quantative easing to give the illusion that we are not in recession. Lapdog Clegg - because it suits his current agenda of distancing the Lib Dems from the Cons, is bleating that the ConDems got it wrong by cutting too deep when they seized power, what a mess!

gnvqsos Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I forget who said it but it went along the lines of 'We can't keep borrowing money from China to pay for goods imported from China'. Sums up the UK's problems. It was said by the head of the USA Federal Reserve,Ben Burnt-Hankie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroB Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It was said by the head of the USA Federal Reserve,Ben Burnt-Hankie. Bernanke? Cheers for that, he must have been quoted by a UK politician a couple of years back. Still applies to UK though - I was looking through the Argos catalogue the other day and dread to think how little of their stock is manufactured in the UK.

Xt500 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 While the alot of companies are using cheap labour from abroad instead of paying wages british people can afford to work for things wont change. As already said to improve things you need to put money in peoples pockets not throwing them on the scrap heap while tarring them as lazy. When we invest in our own then we will see change.

MadManMoon Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 and what solutions do you propose exactly? Since no-one can predict the future it's pretty hard to be able to figure out how to best invest money to revive the economy. Since the rest of Europe is in recession it's pretty hard for one country to rise above the rest and stay that way. They won't go, they have to be pushed. Please sign petition.

Cheap is the relevant word. While ever people demand cheaper goods they will continue to be made where the costs of manufacturing are lowest. At the moment for alot of things this is outside the UK.
