The United Kingdom has also been in recession for six months. Gross domestic product shrank by a total of 0.4% in the last two quarters of last year. Keynesians, especially in Europe, are no longer succeeding in covering up the severe crisis in the private sector by increasing government demand. we can therefore expect even higher debts and even more liquidity creation, as politicians have decoupled themselves from any intellectual evolution and are no longer in a position to implement new strategies to promote the economy and investment demand.
To make matters worse, the Bank of England has made a serious policy error. The liquidity charts clearly show that they have tightened the money supply too much.
Bang on! The Good Old Public School Establishment have screwed up again... Btw, I was shocked to discover hidden in the data, UK GDP per person has been in decline for nearly 2 years, dug out by several economists this morning as per my other post. So the UK has really been in recession for nearly 2 years, masked by net immigration (a policy that views poor people from the Global South as a low paid commodity to be exploited whilst the UK pays people not to work) and government spending .. we effectively have a ponzi economy...

So essentially these figures are doctored and propped up by +600k migrants YOY, and yet still manage to be negative? That's a special breed of fuck up.

We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.
