    Doomed

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/e...e-iceberg.html

    The number of confirmed job losses in the past 10 days alone has mounted to over 40,000, with a swathe of businesses joining Woolworths in either closing down or slashing back their workforces.

    John Philpott, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development chief economist, said: "You can't necessarily judge the full picture from the redundancies that we're seeing.

    "A lot of jobs will also be lost by simply not re-hiring staff when they leave. The redundancies are just the tip of the iceberg."


    Hopefully all this bad news will see the property market tumble drastically.

        Everyone acknowledges that over 3 million will be out of work by the end of the year, so it is hardly news when people get the chop.

        Unless, of course, you get your jollies out of posting links to websites showing the next batch of people getting the chop just to try to depress people?

                Now that statement is WAY below the belt!

                  I didn't vote for Labour and never would, and also tried to persuade others not to in 1997. I said that taxes would rise, immigration would go out of control and that IR35 would come in, but nobody believed me. SMUG
