We were unfavourably hit by the 2008 crisis because our economy is so heavily geared towards finance. We have been favourably blessed by the recovery as it was that sector that has made the biggest adjustment.

Control over public spending has improved or credit rating and is one of many factors that has led to where we are now.

However, the OP stating that the tight budget is the cause of low unemployment does not suggest a very savvy grip on the complexities of economics.

He's probably still more of an economics guru than Brown or Balls though.... LOL

Given that 7 years ago we entered the biggest clusterf*ck of a recession since the war and we're still not fully recovered now I'd hardly say that's that remarkable or anything to do with austerity.


The recession in the 70s was far worse.


... and we had to look at 'Olive' from 'On The Buses'

We had it tough!


And Mildred in George and Mildrid..not good days


Then again, we did have.. Felicity Kendal!!


And Sally James!

Quote We are goin up! at 17 Dec 2015 11.09am


Food bank use has rocketed because those nasty Tories changed legislation to allow job centres to direct people to them. It's also something to be proud of that we as a country provide charity like this off our own backs, rather than expecting the state to be the source of charity instead.

So, when a jobless person (and by extension, families without income from work) report to a Job Centre, it's fantastic that we recognise their plight BY DIRECTING THEM TO SOMEWHERE THEY CAN GET FREE FOOD DONATED BY OTHER MEMEBRS OF THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T ACTUALLY GIVE A F@CK ABOUT THEM.

Shouting is 100% deliberate. Unf@cking believable....

Why don't we take the logical next step and bring back workhouses, so the poor souls can get shelter and food whilst turning out widgets for whatever corporate sponsor we can line up?

I was making the connection between welfare reforms and unemployment figures, which are, in one way or another, connected.

No one can really be against a lower welfare burden and in turn, more tax receipts going to the Exchequer ?

Lower welfare burden = 105,000 homeless children this Christmas (figure from today's Today programme.

Only via a warped interpretation of the word.

more than 103,000 children will spend Christmas in B&Bs, hostels or temporary rented homes.

They would be able to live in their own homes nick, but any spare housing is all rented out to EU citizens exercising their rights to live/work any where in the EU and of course asylum seekers/refugees/economic migrants from the middle east... not to mention hordes of illegal immigrants living here too.

But of course that is there right to live here in the UK and we must welcome them with open arms according to lefty/liberal supporters. To try and cope with demand we end up building houses on flood plains and then you lot blame the flood on governmental incompetence and global warming!

Yeah it is.

The number of households living in temporary accommodation is still significantly lower now than the peak in 2005

Well Hoof, apparently all this immigration is an unmitigated benefit to the country. In fact it is so good for us that I'm sure the likes of Gussett will be calling for far more immigration so that we can treated to even more blessings. Compulsory billeting on the wicked people that aren't considered victims of austerity presumably.

There are over 600,000 empty homes in the U.K. Considering we are in the top 10 richest countries in the world, having 1 homeless child is unacceptable.
