This is the first time that the UK's GDP has contracted for six consecutive quarters since the ONS began compiling quarterly figures in 1955. The BBC try to find solace in reporting
"The economy had contracted 5.2% compared with the same period last year, which was marginally better than the figure of 5.5% in the previous three months."Once again the BBC are making excuses for a Labour government that they would never do for a Conservative government, but it won't wash. This country is in an economic mess of unprecedented proportions and the man to blame for much of the mess is still in Downing Street fantasising that it will come right under his control.
I wonder how long the BBC and the other media will obsess over Nick Griffin to the detriment of covering this dire economic news?
