...and FP said that british growth figures were incorrect and almost said the recession word. He said that Brown had no hope whatsoever of containing the HP crash because the US, Spain, Australia et al., were all unable to contain it. FP said we have the highest domestic debt levels in the world and basically all is lost. Gulp. 
On a lighter note he did forecast 10% drop this year with 40% drop over next three years. A bit optimistic I think. Still softly softly catchee monkee. I don't think joe public is ready for the truth just yet. Best to drip feed the misery

Today has really been the day the public got the message, hasn't it? It's funny, because I was convinced that it would be in 3 weeks time when the Nationwide figures go year on year negative.
Get with it Paddles, this is an HPC at internet speed. 125% mortgages will be back in 3 weeks, quickly followed by a national shortage of hair gel.

Yeah, but we haven't hit the spring bounce yet have we?
It's a proven fact that global warming has delayed spring until March 2017.

It is time to write to the local papers to discredit the reckless labour government for putting us in the position. Just in time for the May election of course.

My one reservation was no mention made of the HPC web-site (unless I missed it).
I thought I saw HPC flash up on the screen when FP was talking.
Again well done FP.
