Re: British economy continues to slide
All I see is a dip in the very early 80's where they went from being priced out the markets due to the Unions, and then a strong rebuild afterwards.
It was bigger when she finished being PM than when she started.
It's bigger now, than it was then.
"decimated" indeed. But don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Not "afraid" to spend mate... Can't spend what I haven't got.... Actually, no, that's wrong... WONT spend what I haven't got in spite of having access to thousands of $$$$$$$ on credit.... Won't go there .....

Wise move. If only folk would go on a spending strike and enforce a return to reality prices.....
