Now youre being silly, and at risk of being sillier.


(answering the world recession question, with some fact based evidence would dilute that)


So, to redeem the situation, please answer that question.

As the number of 'content providers' has increased (and so the competition between them), the need to grab people's attention as quickly and with as few words as possible has also accelerated. This has lead to more and more sound bites, memes and click bate headlines. This dumbing down of the public discourse across the media, especially new media opens the field to demagogues like Farage and Trump who know instinctively how to play by the new rules of the game.

Some facts:


UK pulled out of recession in last quarter of 2009 (yes, 7 years ago)

USA in June 2009

China didn't have a recession after the financial crash (nor Australia)

Japan was in recession last year

Germany pulled out of recession in the first quarter of 2011


The post fact world on the internet means some idiot can post up that there's a global recession going on based on absolutely nothing other than his idiotic opinion and the unfortunate fact that he can type.

I suppose some people might wonder why the BOE is still doing

Quantitative Easing if the economy is so good


and I don't know the answer :)

'So good' being my way of saying just about OK :)


I agree it's not a recession but service sector dominates - manufacturing not so.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
