The pub trade has been decimated, and the fact that the smoking ban has had a detrimental effect on it, and now that the only people seeming to be doing slightly better are public sector workers who on retirement get cast iron pensions, costing the country billions, whilst the private sector pension pot has been creamed. Food, utility bills, council tax, public transport fares all rising, and no end in sight. Billions to bail out banks, and homes being repossessed by the day. Those people have then to find somewhere, causing probably more burden on the state, and the same goes for massive job losses. Brown borrowing billions more to shore up the ailing system isn't going to help. it is real, as you only have to look at the job losses, and industries shedding jobs, downsizing or simply going bust.

Gorden Brown is findings ways for the country to come out of this recession. The government re-capitalise banks so the banks can complete their write downs and commence their lending business. Also lowering interest rates to 2% to address the mortgage problems and prevent people from becoming homeless. To encourage banks to provide cheaper loans to the small and medium enterprises to create employment and economic growth. Also to lessen the scale of the uk recession, Brown needs also to encourage employable people not to be choosy and to go into the job market to help out in his recovery plans.

All I have to worry about is how to eke my Pension out over Christmas, and they do not worry about that.These days it is a question of "I am alright jack " and we are not interested in you.!

One of the main reasons why we are in a recession is because it's always been rip off Britain. If prices had been reduced years ago and not taxed to the hilt, people would have had more money to spend which in turn creates employment. Rip off Britain includes all the fat cats in utility companies, water supply companies, banks and many other large supply chains like supermarkets and shops. No it’s not being overstated.
