Britain out of recession?

The figures are in; after a year and a half of the deepest recession since World War II, where Britain's wealth shrank by a massive 6%, we are now back in growth mode. Yeah, by the tiniest possible margin of 0.1%. Anyone with half a brain can see political manipulation all over this figure: Labour wanted growth and our cash paid for their political trick. One sign of growth is improving employment figures and Brown got it; by hiring thousands more public sector bureaucrats, all soaking up what little wealth we have left. Another sign of growth is more spending. Yes, you've guessed it, Brown got it by pumping even more billions of borrowed money into the markets to keep everyone consuming. Britons will be chained to that debt for generations. And all for a lousy 0.1% growth. Labour doesn't care; if it can just repeat that same trick with our money for one more quarter, Brown thinks he is in with a chance of winning the election. After that? Well, let's put it this way; fancy a job in Poland, or even Albania?
