    Five Reasons the UK Recession Will Get Much Worse

    UK Back in Recession, Did it Really Ever Leave? Disappointing Details; Five Reasons the UK Recession Will Get Much Worse

    Five Reasons the UK Recession Will Get Much Worse

    1. The eurozone is now an economic disaster, credit stress has returned to Spain and Italy

    2. The ECB abandoned the LTRO and is in the midst of huge infighting

    3. UK services took a huge hit and that trend will strengthen

    4. The Eurozone is the UK's largest trading partner and there is no reason for UK exports to the eurozone to rise. In fact, UK exports to the Eurozone, just may collapse.

    5. The better than expected (but still feeble construction numbers) will likely disappoint to the downside soon enough, if not immediately.

    If you thought the euro would help Europe, you thought wrong. The Euro made a disaster in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Italy. It's time to abandon that failed idea.

          1, 2 and 4 are the same reason. 3 is wrong. 5 is subject to review (no-one believes the construction numbers since the measure was changed) but will not have a big impact.

          When the EURO explodes I think it will be good for Europe and UK.

          In summary I believe we will flatline for another 5 years.

                and then house prices will rocket and I can offload the last one of my tiresome rental properties without taking a loss?

                    It may be a financial disaster but not an economic one. The countries in the Eurozone would have been much worse with their own national currencies. But the Euro is not equipped to resist the severe credit crunch.

                    UK has more external debt to GDP ratio than Greece, Italy, Spain or Portugal:

                    Only Ireland is properly fcuked up.
