    The Great Recession

    The great recession

    Well it's now official, we're now in the middle of the worst recession since 1929 and we're no where near the bottom.

    Hang on to your hats this is 9 on the Richter scale.

    How do you know we're nowhere near the bottom? How do the chappies at bloomberg, who probably didn't see this coming, know whether we're near the bottom?

      If we are in the middle then it means we are at the bottom (assuming recovery takes the same time as reduction)

        We're in the middle of the bottom? Is that what I think it is?

          We're on the tip of the cusp of the chocolate starfish? Is that right?

            there's absolutely no proof this recession is caused by human activity.

                To paraphrase Churchill:

                We are not at the bottom, or even near the middle of the bottom, but we are near the start of the top of the middle of the bottom.

                    We shall borrow on the beaches, we shall borrow on the landing grounds, we shall borrow in the fields and in the streets, we shall borrow in the hills; we shall never be in the black, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were ever in the black, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue by offering us some right good deals, based on a new-found cornucopia of loot, namely sub-prime mortgages... again.
