Channeling Super Mac?

Digby Jones has been on the media today supporting the comments, saying the recession has been great for some (home-owners having their mortgages paid for them; but terrible for others, old age pensioners, savers, jobless). Pretty obvious stuff surely, what is Camoron on about now. It's a rare event that Jones says something sensible though isn't it? Sensible at least in terms of what's good for UK workers.

Post recession?

Technically by a gnats dick yes, IMO the reality is indistinguishable from the the last 24 months.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 20 | 1957: Britons 'have never had it so good'

Macmillan looks almost the spitting image of my uncle in that pic although, unlike him, Mac didn't wear a monocle on account of his "lazy eye".

Ironically, it was probably true when MacMillan said it in 1957.

I wouldn't say we are out of recession either. We've got money to pay back, and this amount is still rising, inflation poised to go stratospheric, food and energy prices to rise, interest rates so low they can only go up, unemployment and rioting, and probably more money printing to come. Not quite out of the woods yet.
