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. 
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
