THERE MAY BE TROUBLE AHEAD....!
Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at 09:22PM Excellent overview of the likely prospects for the UK economy worth your while reading here on The Business.....
In Shakespeare’s play, a hallucinating Macbeth has a vision of a dagger, pointing toward the King’s chamber, urging him to follow through on his dark plans to murder Duncan, the sleeping Scottish monarch.
For Gordon Brown, Britain’s Scottish Prime Minister, there can be no worse nightmare than the prospect of the UK sliding into its first recession in over 15 years. The Prime Minister must feel like being Duncan, with a massive dagger pointing at his chest, ready to puncture what is left of his much-vaunted reputation for economic competence.
It seems to me that reality is going to bite Brown in the financial posterior and it is all his own fault. The Iron Chancellor reputation (always a joke) is melting in front of him.

All that matters is the Union is finished.
Did you know in a survey on children:
Half of those interviewed in Northern Ireland said they did not know their nationality, however, 23% said they were British, 14% said they were Irish, whilst four said they were English.
Now the Scots know who they are, as do the Irish and the English. NI kids are completely confused.
Why is this?

The fantasies of Irish delusionists fed through the prism of a biased media? Or, maybe another faux poll?
David,
I find it sad that rather than deal with what the survey raised, you feel it necessary to immediately dismiss it by crying bias or fake.
I'd say you're staying firmly in your own prism, or is that prison ???
Broooon is doooomed...
Perhaps we ought to take lessons from the Irish. Those chaps know a thing or two about running a country successfully.
Whoops!
