We do world class recessions

hahahahahahaha

We have a more service sector based economy and if you knew even an iota about how economies work you could it out - the link with productivity. The BOE seem to think its mainly due to poor worker productivity.

But Globalisation - now if you are saying the reason for low wage growth is increasing trade liberalisation then that is an argument against Brexit?

WTO anyone?

You don't mention access to cheap labour, a result of globalisation and the driving force to lower wages. We were a service sector based economy long before the wage stagnation we've seen.

Austerity never really works because by doing it you're shrinking the economy whereas what's needed is the opposite.

Yes that may well be the case, however the Canadians managed to successfully carry out austerity (if my research is correct)

My point is that it likely needed to happen, and the fact that the whole of Europe, the USA and Japan thought so too all with varying degrees of success or failure, there was clearly and evidently a lot of financial big wig advisers also thought it was the best cause of action to curb the spending habits of which could not continue at the rate they were.

Im not pretending to be an expert and it is just my view.

I certainly understand more than we'll just print more money and that will alleviate all our problems with no negative outcome at all :rolleyes:
 
Have a look at Sweden and Denmark - social democracies, left leaning and both countries that have some of the highest numbers of super rich

Nothing to do with social democracy.
Norway's economy is fueled by oil and gas exports which not only makes it extremely efficient and stable, but also helps it to be one of the richest countries for many many more years to come.
It also has extremely low unemployment rates as compared to other countries in the world.
And has a stable and low population density.
35 people per sq mile. So more wealth to share around.
Compared with 1350 per sq mile in the UK.

Open for a handful of kids whose parents are key workers.

Dumb libertards

Plenty of them around.
They want the foreigners to wipe their arzes when they get old.
Sedentary lives and modern medicine keeping them in a zombie state leaves them vulnerable....no doubt..

What you has posted above is because the aforementioned are white northern European protestent.
I am not saying this for racist reasons, it is just a fact of life.
 
What do you think of the Tories' schools re-opening plan?

Like every other "return to normal " plan ; a pizz in the wind.
At some point, the penny might drop : the human conceit that "we know everything ; we control everything" is being truly shown up by a combination of greed, denial, and a piddly little sac of RNA.
 
The original forecast for GDP was a tad "cut short", it would be a much better measure to look to the future, next year maybe? The first good news is that U.K unemployment is one of the least hard hit of the 36 OECD countries and looking further forward th GDP forecast is the best out of all 36. I'll admit Boris screwed up on Apps and track and trace but i think The Guardian have selected the OECD figures with timelines to suit their narrative rather than give a more honest picture... unemployment.JPG unemployment.JPG unemploymentOECD.JPG

Noway (unlike the UK) chose to run it's economy regardless of it's oil wealth, and thus has accumulated one of the the world's largest sovereign wealth funds.

The UK of course went off (in the time honoured fashion) and decided to reward the richest in society and sell off it's national assets!
