It's quite plain to see where the 1.2% GDP figure came from. Gordon manipulating the economy for his own evil ends:

Without this surge in public spending on construction will we be back in recession within months?

Has the private sector ever got out of recession?

I'll ask again, is incurring 10-15% of GDP debt each and every year to induce 1.5% or so GDP 'growth' per year a good idea?

Just looking at the figures, I would think not.

Blancheflower/Krugman/BBC seem to think otherwise.

I think charts C and F are quite shocking. Uk construction output 20 times the average *after* the biggest recession for 70 years? Somethings not right there.

There's actually some good housing charts on there too.

.What happens why they try to sell all these new houses?

I think you put too much emphasis on these figures. Behold the mighty yellow line!
