@LEPRecon
Oct 25th, 2012 - 08:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You forgot an important part of the real picture.
Arg GDP 475bn
Arg external debt 130bn
Arg Public debt 41.4% of GDP (196,65bn)
Arg GDP balance = $148.35bn positive after paying the whole debt.
UK GDP $2.418 trillion
UK external debt 10 trillions
UK public debt 86% (2,079 trillions)
UK GDP balance = -9,582 trillions negative after paying the whole debt.
As you can see UK is making loses ship and is keeping a float thanks to borrowing.
Now lenders are knocking at UK’s door with a huge bill and with all intentions to get their money back plus generous interest rates.
@UK
Well seems Kmoron have found the solution of UK’s economy problems after all.
They just need to make “Olympic Games and Diamond Jubilee remakes” every weekend until 2030 to keep UK growing 1%.

means that the english is not your native language.
you can not perceive even the logic of comment (1) what it says
read and think again.
oooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!! We are out of recession!!!
Oct 25th, 2012 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 01%??? 1%!!! That is not growth!!! That's not even an increase!! It's a mild swelling!!
But before Came-moron and his little b*tch Nick clegg start s*cking each others d*cks, there is some news that I bet they haven't heard yet.
Ford is closing it's Transit van factory in Southampton. That's 1,500 jobs gone. Another factory is closing in Derby where they make car seats with the loss of 500 jobs
But it's ok!!! The recession is over!!!! I feel safer already!!! it's clear blue skies and sunny weather from now on!!!
'cos our economy grew by 1%!!!
But Britain's Chancellor George Osborne said the figures show that the country is ''on the right track“. Yeah!! Keep up that “spectacular success” for the next 500 years and we might be ok...........
Meanwhile, away from “cloud cuckoo land” the real world was happening. You which part I mean don't you? That bit of the UK that isn't London.
But it's ok, were doing fine..............................I guess...................
Good news at last . The Tories inherited a real mess from Labour and had to take drastic action . The results are starting to show now helped by the Golden Jubilee and Olympics . They have to keep expenditure down .But not on defense , too many funnies around .
Oct 25th, 2012 - 10:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the proof is in the pudding,
Oct 26th, 2012 - 12:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0and this pudding is now growing at last.
lol, its hilarious when Argies on here quote figures they read online. They've clearly never traveled, cause it doesn't take more than ten minutes in USA, UK, and Argentina, to see that the amount of wealth in UK and USA is LIGHTYEARS beyond Argentina's.

Oct 26th, 2012 - 05:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Small African country, what, you mean like Ghana???
Oh yes!!! and, right on que. As of the 6th December 2012 EDF energy is putting up it's prices by 5 times the rate of inflation......
Oct 26th, 2012 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Happy f**king Christmas!!! Lets see the next quarters “Growth” figures... people will be too busy slipping into “fuel poverty” to spend their money on anything else.... Ha!!!
So much for Came-moron dream of “Low cost affordable energy for everyone” and yet again, it hits the old, the vunerable and those in the lower wage earning bracket.
But that's ok.............. we are out of recession............everything is ok.
Treble dip recession anyone?
