I think that news is very welcome indeed Opti and without doubt is testament to the Prime Minister’s stewardship of not only the economy but also of the nation. :y :y

I have little doubt that the figures have been massaged and manipulated to somehow produce a + figure (albeit only just).Even the normally shameless shower  we have in government must surely have been starting to feel embaressed by the fact that we are the only major economy still in recession, despite the fact that  they told us several times that we would be the first to come out of it due entirely to the fact that Gormless and Darling are financial geniuses who have saved the world economy in general and the British economy in particular. ::)

We may be emerging slowly from recession but full recovery will take alot longer.
    We are over the worst though.

The more the figure rises above the current 0.01% the more pressure there will be to stop printing money/put interest rates back up/stop subsidies to businesses etc, etc. It will take some sort of juggler to slowly ease everything along in the right direction.
It is patently obvious that Brown,Darling and Osborne are completely incapable of the task.Ken Clarke might be up to it though if he learns to keep his mouth shut on other more controversial issues. ;)

However much they may have wanted to do this, what on Earth makes you think they have the competence to actually achieve any result that they intend? 

The last 12 years has been a cycle of announcement of a plan, failure to achieve it, identifying a positive spark in a heap of negative ashes and triumphant PR blast claiming this what they were trying to do all the time.

Only 3˝ months till they go :) :) :)

They send this years version of Alistair Campbell to pay the statisticians a visit and graphically describe how he will take pleasure in wrecking their careers and lives if they don t produce a set of figures which say what he wants them to say.seemples. ;)

So would I, he,s possibly the only person as imo Vince Cable would crap himself if he actually had the responsibility thrust upon him of putting his supposedly wise words into action.
The trouble with Ken is that outside of economic matters he is a loose cannon on all sorts of subjects, especially Europe and that doesnt go down well in todays Tory party. ;)
