Uk Economy.

What the hell in happening, state owned banks have suddenly started making profits, unemployment has dropped ,GDP is up there are more people in work than ever, the recession is over, says Osborne .
Is there something happening in the year 2015, that we have not been told about Georgie Boy , how stupid do the Cons really think we are?

Its an issue pretty well everywhere agchristie. It certainly is here in Wales.
It must also be a problem in London and the South-East, as there might be more work down there but nobody can afford to buy a house, and renting is fast becoming unaffordable too.

Terrible news - especially with an election looming. ;o)

[mikey4444]

As I have said on numerous previous occasions, it still a long way to go until
7th May 2015, but if there is a feel-good factor, it has still to emerge in the Polls...still no sign whatsoever of dave winning the argument ::::

Still, all to play for it would seem.

By the way, treat all reports from the Tories that the recession is "over" with a large pile of salt. The population has grown quite a bit since 2010 - so GDP per capita is still lower.

Keep going, Mikey. ;o)

Sorry to confuse people with the actual truth Naomi, but dave hasn't been able to get ahead of Labour since soon after the 2010 Election, and he still shows no sign of doing so. If the Tories are to win again in 2015, they are taking a huge chance by leaving it so late. We now have 8-9 months left before we go to the Polls. The Libdems are not going to be able to bail the Tories out again next year, so if they are to win, its got to be a overall majority, and that isn't even in sight.

As the Blessed Thatch might say: "Just rejoice in that news". We're doing well and the left can't bare it.

[naomi24]

I'm on tenterhooks! ;o)

[mikey4444]

scooping....another taken in by dodgy stats fro the Government it seems.

Do you feel better off than you were in 2010 ? Is the gap between what you earn and what you have to pay shorter or longer than in 2010. Hasn't your Gas, Electricity, etc etc bills gone up like everybody else ?

Mikey 4444. The stats aren't from the government...

"Can we take the risk of Labour getting us back in the mess if they happen to win the next election?"

Yes, I did think that as well Mr AOG

[naomi24]

If Labour win the next election, we won't have an option.

[DTCwordfan]

yes we do, naomi, we can emigrate; the thought of having those irresponsible spendthrifts back in power make me cringe.

[naomi24]

That's an option, DT. ;o)

[Orderlimit]

"the thought of having those irresponsible spendthrifts back in power make me cringe." Same here DTC, as does having the wet Mr Miliband as PM, especially with the current rise inf global conflict.
