'This is a man who took a recovery and due to his desire for austerity and low taxes ran the recovery into the ground'
like most u can't see there wasn't a recovery- u need to read up on variance in a statistic book to understand

Call your nurse, your medication is very obviously wearing off.

As for the article- well, lets look at the motivation- it must have been niggling that osborne could claim that, so much so that one data point and your there reminding us he CAN'T use that one anymore- flashbuck is right, it's like u want it to fail.... weird. mmm.

You obviously don't know Osborne. He'll present the figures to make them look good.
Good news, the Eurosummit seems to have gone down well with the Stock Markets round te World. So things could be looking up.

Osborne will simply pick some other set of figures or something, or boast that we have more competitive taxes (read: lower if you are rich) than most other places.

Having said that as much as we all might dislike him, Osborne genuinely feels he is doing the right thing by destroying the national infrastructure, and his party did pick up more votes than any others. So let him get on with it in peace. When it's all over maybe the British public will understand that these incompetant monsters should never be allowed back in again, but based on the evidence so far I doubt it.

Indoo is lagging far behind the Lisbon Treaty bandwagon, the one that was ditched in 2009.

The US is experiencing rising exports, it seems their makers are marching and dancing.

@matt

Foxy, thought you had run off with the skulk after losing so many arguments. BTW, careful who your friends are if you dont want fleas.

Lisbon Treaty -- another Foxy straw man you doused in petrol? Isnt that the treaty Labour was going to hold a democratic reforendum on? You know "democracy" one member one vote.

Do you remember "gutless" Gordon incompetently failing to turn up to the signing of the Treaty in 2007 with a made up excuse pissing off most of the European leaders? Milibandwagon had to sign it instead. Not the greatest of moments.

I don's skulk Indoo, I leave that to you.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the 2007 pledge, why is that Indoo.

In many ways Cameron is being consistent, there was no referendum on the Single European Act or the Maastricht Treaty.

Don't forget Indoo, Osborne tried to lean on some of the rebels, and where did it get him?

I think Stu shouldn't hide behind the idea consumer spending is solely powering the US economic expansion.

Before commenting, I think he needs to inhale deeply and digest yesterday's economic news.

The economic growth has been put down to three main reasons.

1, Increase Business spending
2, Rising Exports
3, Consumer Spending

The biggest drag at the moment is the spending cuts initiated on a state level. It seems the Republican Governors are weaving their magic.

Awake!, stop being thick. Start reading what people actually say, not reading things as if you were a Daily Express editor. If you have no argument against what someone says trying to change what they say isn't a valid tactic. Nobody is as thick as you are pretending to be, so drop it.

I never said the riots were justified did I? The point, which you have to have gotten, because it's glaringly obvious, is that civil unrest is always worse under the Tories. Miners strikes, Toxteth and Brixton, the poll tax riots, the prison riots etc. Compare it to the labour years of civil order. Now we have the tories back, and lo and behold we have riots and lawlessness again.

I didn't say that it was Camerons fault the police were corrupt did I? The point is that Cameron employed Murdochs right-hand man in spite of knowing in advance the kind of things he had done. Several people written to Cameron and told him to keep that man out of our political system. Cameron ignored it.

And if you want to talk about crashing the economy then why the hell do you support Osborne? This is a man who took a recovery and due to his desire for austerity and low taxes ran the recovery into the ground.

This time last year, Boy George was constantly telling us that "it`s all Labour`s fault, we inhertited a mess". Not long afterwards, we had lots of snow, this provided Mr Osbourne with another scapegoat. In recent months the Eurozone has been his latest attempt at shifting the blame.

No matter how much the bar is raised, I`m sure the Chancellor will be smart enough to find more pathetic excuses for the poor state of our economy.

Oh Gideon.

Should you not be aware, Scapegoating is not a policy to cure the financial crisis.
