“Interesting. I hadn’t heard that unemployment there was so low (I’m a Yank). Up .5% to 5.7%? Pretty good for anywhere, especially for Europe. I bet Brits are used to better and are crying their eyes out, instead of counting their blessings.”
Many of my fellow Brits like to have a good moan about anything and everything, whether we have anything to moan about or not. We’ve had 10 or so uninterrupted years of the best economic circumstances in living memory but people will still claim that the current Government is one of the worst of all time. The crisis we (and the rest of the world) are going through now doesn’t begin to compare to the misery of the 1980′s but many still wish we were back in the ‘good old days’ where we had a million more people unemployed and our services were either left to rot by the then Government or sold off cheap so they’d have some money to spend in election year tax cuts.
I’ve come to the conclusion that many of my fellow countrymen are idiots with the memories of goldfish.
