Economists shocked at UK recession not ending.... (23Oct09)

... but the UK public are NOT shocked that the UK has not left recession. The economists live on another planet. But no doubt they will revise the figures just in time for the general election to make it look like New Labour were right all along and they really are economic geniuses (that wrecked the UK economy).

New Labour continue to re-write the record books, with now the longest recession in the UK's history to add to their long list of record breaking failures.

Recorded from Channel 4 News, 23 October 2009.

If you start your own business, study hard to learn new skills or even work for a low wage, you're penalised. Often, it's more economical not to work at all. There needs to be a war on 'big government' now!

Dont I know it. Im trying to start a business now and to be honest, the only way its possible is if you do things on the sly, theres no way you can make a profit.

"An economy needs engines to lift off"

Too fucking right you fucking shill journo - but how the fuck can we create such 'engines of creation' without a manufacturing sector, you're okay, in your big fucking house with your salary - but what about the millions upon millions of working classes losing the propeties and savings they WORKED YEARS FOR TO EARN?!?!?!?!??

@1XMarksSpot @3:52 - the reason Germany in particular is growing is because they are a non-liberal variant of economic capitalism, this man, (David Cameron) was moaning at this time about how the UK has fallen behind Germany when it was HIS PARTY back in the 1980's that liberalised nearly every single industry within the UK. It is their fault, David Cameron is an ex-stock broker for fucks sake, we have criminals and swindlers running our nation!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@StateOfPower Yes.

@1XMarksSpot - I feel a finer solution would be to rip the guts out of the sub-prime American banksters that caused half of the decent hard working people on my street to lose their house, break their families an age them 20 years. The blood of the Neo-liberal conmen in Downing street shall spill before that of those American banksters who perpetrated a systemic collapse of our nations economy. BLUT UND BODEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking from America:

UK is being destroyed by design. Get rid of your PRIVATE central bank, The Bank of England. It owns your government.

Considering it was a global recession, and brown bailed out the banks, the money we lost was a small price to pay for saving the country from an even weaker qauter.
