The Economy Is For Empty Nodding Heads
THE economy is front-page news. But how many of us know what’s going on?
And the bloggers aren’t helping much.
Anorak’s Chenier has provided a few scoops; Guido attempts to shine a blue light on goings on, and EU Ref looks to provide context, although today he leads with the post-Darling headline: “Do We Care?” If the economy counts for anything it counts for the triumph of old media over the new.
Not much beyond that
Brian Appleyard muses on his blog:
Far from knowing what should be done, most of us - actually all of us - don’t know what is happening or has happened. ‘Uncharted waters’ is a phrase often used, which is true enough in its way but the full implications of the words are not understood.
Meanwhile in the Sunday Times, the paper for which Appleyard writes, there is lots and lots and lots of copy about the economy. Although do many poeple read it?

Seriously? I think Monopoly should take over the Global economy.
The UK Govts approach is just delaying the Day of Reckoning and adding on lots more zeros in the process.
Companies are going bust, and laying people off who in turn will go bust and unable to pay bills of old and new debt.
Its just a deeper furrow to a deeper hole which has caused the problems in the first place.
