Mecky Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Perhaps you should read something other than The Morning Star. I generally read the Metro, which I believe is part of the Mail group, may be wrong on that point, though EDIT Yes, I was right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(British_newspaper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I said they rarely tell me they are, not tell me they're not. However, they tell me jobs are being lost almost every day EDIT Which is probably you had to rely on an article from Sept 2013 Really...? http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/lms/labour-market-statistics/january-2014/index.html Unemployment down. Total absolute employment is also going up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not sure if the stock market were convinced after the last government claim. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/stockmarket/3/one_month.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Refutation of a claim is not moving the goalposts. For example if you ever managed to provide evidence that the economy fell by 50% last March I wouldnt claim the goalposts moved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Refutation of a claim is not moving the goalposts Which of your many claims are you refuting?

Cyclone Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Refuting your (apparent) claim that net jobs are being lost. Of course maybe you didn't mean to claim that, what you said was so imprecise it could mean many different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT Here's something you may find interesting, care to comment? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25966075 I'll comment after you provide evidence for the 50% fall in the economy last March. Or if you retract your claim of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 False prosperity based on debt. Now that rings a bell. Interest rates on hold as Bank says recovery 'unsustainable' Rate likely to remain at 0.5% until 2015 election because recovery 'neither balanced nor sustainable', says Mark Carney "A few quarters of above-trend growth driven by household spending are a good start but they aren't sufficient for sustained momentum" LINK Although Carney does rather put his foot in it when he says: "For a sustained and balanced recovery, the degree of stimulus will need to remain exceptional for some time." Not much of an economy if it depends on funny money created out of thin air on a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all public opinion, look at the news from Barclays the other day, profits supposedly down, bankers' bonuses up and 12,000 jobs lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
