Who cares we have the New Labour miracle economy where, because of the actions of the greatest ever chancellor for the past 10 years, we will be protected from all the worlds ills due to a combination of low inflation, unicorn eye lashes, low wage increases, fairy farts and good old fashioned British resolve to teach Johnny Foreigner a damn good lesson when it comes to running a superior hat stand tomfoolery economy.

This is great news.

If the Americans have no jobs they'll have to turn to lower paid jobs. Then I can buy my GAP T-shirts knowing that they were not made in Asian seat shops, but in American ones! Guilt free at last.
Sockpuppet will have more time to spend here.
Cheap cars for all
Fill yer pockets.
