Just be careful until the ONS ratify the figures, they are so tight. That will be in a couple of months

UK GDP Growth forecast Figures since 1949. What does it tell us, nothing much, the lows below ZERO were predictable for various reasons as were the highs above 5%. Many economists and so called experts say that to cope with immigration, both legal / illegal, old age, shrinking tax receipts and varous other pressuers that the UK needs to consistently have highs above 10% over a decade or more. That would mean the UK out doing the USA and the rest of Europe combined assuming they remained stagnant over the same time period or grew at a much slower rate. Personally, i think thats for the crack smoking brigade. Lets be honest, the UK is a small island, with nothing much to offer its population or indeed the rest of the world, sadly, those times have been and gone. There is no magic wand to fix the NHS or housing crisis overnight, if only it were that simple. The young people who cant afford to rent or get a mortgage now wont be able to in 5, 10 or even 15 years time. One financial wizard suggested it would take £750 billion investment over the next 5 years to see any type of dramatic change for the young and old. If correct then that would suggest GDP needs to consistently hit 14% per annum from now until 2030. Something which has never been achieved since 1949 or whenever records began.
And dont forget the graph is forecast, the actual real figures are far worse!!!

flipping hell, I'm glad I'm not vegetarian. I was looking for a mushroom recipe, what could be more off-putting than shit mushrooms and ear fungus.

A few hundred scattered around the globe. Navalny was a giant and that's why Putin killed him. Putin is a moral vacuum. A stain on humanity and a hypocrite because he cliams to be religious. How can any religious person be part of any religion that supported Putin and not be furious?
Over 250 Russians have been detained by police for turning up to honour him. There must be thousands surrounding Russian Embassies around the world.greenmark wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:04 pmA few hundred scattered around the globe.

As for religion, it's probably historically responsible for more deaths than natural disasters. The people who crashed planes into the Twin Towers were religious. That's the essence of religion, it allows you to believe whatever you want, good or bad, however ludicrous the beliefs are.
Religion is not repsonsible for the actions of things like Putin or the Twin Towers pilots. They make/made their own decisions.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:12 pmOver 250 Russians have been detained by police for turning up to honour him.

OK warped religious belief/indoctrination may have played a part. But the bottom line is if you kill someone you better have a very good reason IMO. Someone telling you to do it is not a good reason and Putin --- well it's now clear he is plain nuts with no moral justification (religious or otherwise) for his actions.
I believed in god when I was three or four, and that he requires you to be good to people. If I was talk that he requires a certain group of people to be exterminated, I would have believed that - that's religion!greenmark wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:46 pmReligion is not repsonsible for the actions of things like Putin or the Twin Towers pilots.

The UK will be at war with Russia before the next general election. So if your aged between 18 and 55 you should basically do a runner otherwise cannon fodder.
Well I was lucky. I came from a protestant family, but religion was never forced on me. "make your own mind up" was the guidance. How lucky was I?Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 5:55 pmI believed in god when I was three or four, and that he requires you to be good to people.
