Osbornes medicine is working!

[Total Chaos]

Great result for the Chancellor, despite the difficulties in Europe and the US his brilliance is seeing the UK rise from the ashes of the last Labour debacle.

 

Well done Danny Alexander and Vince Cable. In fact the whole Con/Lib alliance is getting us back on the right track.

 

True blue will get you through!

 

Another sheeple,lets believe whatever the government tells us.

I understand your point and accept that, assuming your figures are right, we are facing serious trouble further down the road. It seems to me we are somewhat trapped into the current system. Since the downfall of communism virtually the entire world have adopted the capitalist system. I wonder how long this can be sustained.

 

It is quite a pleasure to stumble into a proper debate on SF. That doesn't happen every day.

 

To answer your point, Hillpig, it might be that this is as good as it gets. If we look to Biology for inpiration, we see lots of systems that rise, peak and fall. Maybe wealth will behave in this way. Maybe we will have a prolonged period of no/low growth and a decline in living standards. Maybe that might not be such a bad thing.

 

It stands to reason that constant growth is impossible in the long term. Perhaps we are already seeing a different distribution of wealth, forced upon us by this economic storm. At the moment, we have people working less than they wish, but unemployment lower than it might be.

 

This might just be the future.

First of all, GDP is calculated by the ONS, which is independent from government and secondly, you cant just make such a statement without substantiating it with at least some reasoning.

Such a pity people still find it in them to take a negative view on a couple of positive storys.

Probably the same people that were jumping for joy at the new Thatcher has died.

It's laughable that you consider 0.3% growth as a 'positive storey', it's not it's just fortunate that we haven't officially gone into a triple dip recession certainly not something to shout about.

 

In context The Bank of England has said it expects inflation to exceed 3% later this year and add to that the huge amount Osborne is borrowing whilst selling off our assets and forcing skilled people to take badly paid and under-skilled jobs - Osborne is a disaster.

Surely Osborne inherited a disaster and is doing his best to correct the situation he inherited.

Its the same as those who cry when petrol or beer goes up by 1p. But its gone done by several pence this past week or two.

This disaster has been going on since the 70's but that doesn't exonerate Mr. Osborne.

 

He has more than added to our woes and definitely hasn't got any solutions to the problems, he has seen how his predecessors have gained personally from fooling the country into believing that debt is profit as vague boy has illustrated.

 

Mr. Osborne has failed to understand that the dirt has hit the fan and the whole game is up.

 

Personally, my theory is that he's not that thick and he is merely in the process of feathering his own nest at the expense of us all, like some filthy Judas scumbag.

to be fair, when oil prices go up, it takes a nano second for the petrol companies push up their prices. When it goes down, they drag their feet and never drop it to the same equivalent level, thus the rise in the price at the pump has risen out of proportion with the actual cost of oil.
