    The economy grew by 0.2% alone in September. Like WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. But let's not forget folks, it shrank by 0.6% in July alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zero growth in Q3. Britain is still going into recession no matter how Liam talks up the economy. Let's stop living in denial, Britain is slipping into recession, no matter what Liam and the government would have you believe.

    The problem with recycled steel is the more times you recycle it the less strength it has due to the accumulation of impurities it picks up. So at some point we won't even be able to make a steel door lintel because it won't be strong enough to hold up the bricks of a house. Utter madness !

    I find it daft that due to having some of the most expensive energy prices in the world, so our politicians can say they are 'leading the world in cutting CO2 emissions ', we are allowing strategic industries to be shutdown so we can import it from places where other politicians have chosen 'not to lead the world in reducing CO2 emissions'.
    We haven't produced enough steel for our own economy's needs for years. We import much of it. Yet our own politicians vanity project to 'lead the world' in CO2 reductions continues apace.
    Once every 5 years, when asked whom you would like to be in charge of government policies, be very careful for who and what you are voting for !

    True, the US-Stock Market had been on it's longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable, considering were not accustomed to such troubled markets, but as you mentioned there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look, l've netted over $800k in the past 6 months and it wasn't some rocket-science strat. I applied , I just knew I needed a firm and reliable technique to navigate better in these times, so I hired a portfoilo advisor.

    Another example of the UK selling off to the highest bidder rather than our long term growth and stability. Now the Chinese sell it and close it down turning the screw on UK from within

    The Great British people have to pout,
    Although they're known for being stout,
    As the economy to new lows delves,
    They have to ask themselves,
    What'll happen when the immigrant's welfare runs out?

    Problem with these assessments is they are only looking inwards, in fact the UK economy is doing better than the majority of the EU, this is not a local issue, it is a global one and when we put the UK into the bigger picture you cannot present it as though our economy is faltering, on the contrary it is holding up well against all the odds.

    Hopefully economy shrinks it will hopefully push all these foreigners out. We can pray one day we well be able to reverse the trashy governance process.

    To get to net zero we need to import all our products from China. That way they can use coal fired power stations to generate their electricity. That will be great – we will be then be headed towards net zero. We can then all virtue signal whilst starving to death in abject poverty. Just what the eco lunatics want.

    The British economy is never going to grow again. It will just plod along like it has for the past decade. Strikes, work shy Gen Z, freeloading immigrants, society going to s**t and a corrupt political system. UK is done.

    Good thing world peace was declared and there is zero risk of us getting dragged into a conflict where we might need to make some things. I'm sure China won't be considering that at all.

    Boris and his gang blew around £400 Billion on Covid, wasted billions on HS2 , gave Zelensky billions and billions spent on the rubber boat engineers. Imagine if our taxes were actually put to proper use , or even reduced. The country could be in a great position . It all stems from this useless government

  31. @unclefatbloke

    Too many comments below bleating on about Brexit being the cause of the current problems, when in fact – printing money, bllsh1t actions during the pLandemic, oh and a WORLDWIDE recession created by those activities – are actualling hurting most of the G20 nations MORE than the UK!
    And the EU has performed MUCH worse than the UK!
    So please, please, please – do a little research Remoaners before playing the broken record for the thousandth time, pleeeeaaase!!

    Its all been engineered by the government under pressure from the EU. We are NOT a sovereign country until we are completely disconnected from the EU, the UN, WHO, and other global establishments.

    We have a Parliament that is useless and needs to be cleared out. Are they so stupid with the way they are running the economy, or are they doing it on purpose?

    Nobody going to work because of Ulez and immigration. Costs 7k to drive to work a year on Ulez and sell a perfectly good car plus work and pay taxes for illegals.

    What makes me really miffed is why we dont have government intervention. Both German and French governments do this ten fold to save businesses particularly large ones. Even when we were closer in the club. Take the EU legal hits (funny that they always get away with it). And protect their peoples interests to the point they own our water and electricity and others. Why aren't we being protected by UK Government Corporation. So we must assume failure is by design.
