anywebsite Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What about "should've happened 3 years ago", enjoy the pre-election bribes & remember the country is still poorer than in 2008. Enjoy your 0.7% pay rise, a real terms cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manlinose Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 all little bits of good news are welcome - anything which contributes to increased tax revenues without raising tax rates should be welcomed long may the improvements continue and i seem to recall quite a few threads on here commenting on increasing growth, falling unemployment and falling inflation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecky Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Again, the new is of thousands losing and jobs and I've heard of little vancies and don't forget, because this is the biggie, the economy was halved only last march ---------- Post added 22-01-2014 at 11:30 ---------- If Osbourne has it so wrong why is our economy outperforming the rest of Europe? Or at least that is what we are being told EDIT I don't see the proliferation of zero hour contracts, part-time work and keeping kids at school until they pass exams, because that is the latest pressure point, an improvement in the employment situation.
