You beat me to it.

Maybe he'll use his 'internet powers' to remove that post like he removed his name from the most hated poll on SN

What poor response, even from you, as you are well aware Labour inherited a strong economy and stuck to Tory spending plans for a while after coming into power. It didn't take long for it all to go wrong though did it.

So are you now saying the FTSE is not "a big indicator of economic confidence and of the economy"?

Nope, but the economy isn't doing that great as it's only a little better than 1999.... surely that isn't too hard to understand,. Oh and Brown did not single handedly create the global financial crisis despite what Osborne will tell you!

I'm not sure which of you and Kwigot has the most obsessive personality on SN... but you REALLY need to get over the whole poll thing. It's been months now and you are still all butt hurt over it! Sometimes in life you just have to realise that some people are smarter than you... that was one of those occasions. HTH

I might take a punt on these! Proceeds will be used to pay down the national debt so it can only be a good thing! It's a win-win!

Publicly owned? I don't really think the gov stake 20.9% can be described as ownership.

Well obviously not the 80% it doesnt, or was that too difficult for you to see.

No I thought it was obvious, but you seemed to be struggling with it so I thought I had better clarify it. I always forget how much cleverer I am than most on this site. What is obvious to me is less so to the less gifted such as yourself. Must try harder to cater for that in future.

It's just broken the 6000 barrier again... in the wrong direction

Government borrowing still higher than estimated, deficit reduction on hold, £1.5 trillion in debt .. higher than 80% of the GDP. All apparently due to lower than expected income tax .... well there's a surprise, this is what happens if you create a load of low paid jobs to massage your jobless statistics... oh hang on they're going up too!

Osborne's economic miracle!!!!
