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.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
