veritas Same thing happened after the Depression and FDR's New Deal. When he cut back after the conservatives kept hammering him the US economy started to plunge again.

You simply cannot make any recovery by cutting the flow of money, suppressing the lower orders and announcing doom and gloom for all...but today's breed of professional pollies have no life experience so what would they know ??..they take their cues from the corporate sector.

The dole and all social security needs to boosted not cut and the country will thrive (provided the corporate tax owing is collected)

free beer all round I say !

Not only are people not going out - the High Streets are empty compared with usual. Football attendances are down in all divisions - some spectacularly so. Gigs are empty - venues are closing ( the whole Barfly chain except Camden has disappeared in the last 12 months )

Having an office based on an affluent High St I have seen food and coffee establishments do very well this summer with the good weather - but since September started it has become like a Sunday every day of the week. How businesses are keeping going is beyond me.

With VAT and the cuts yet to come - the future looks very bleak for most people.

Only Central London seems to be doing OK - so the media seems to be ignoring the crisis. Tourism is propping up the feel good factor.

But even Luxury homes saw the FIRST FALL in mortgages last month in 18 months.......so even that has now turned downwards.

Rocky ride ahead.
