Gordon Brown has commented that we are seeing signs of recovery in the UK, but just how realistic is he being? Some may argue that this may only be pre-election rhetoric and his financial posturing is simply a cheap (excuse the pun) way of getting voters on board. Despite the posturing signalling some kind of basis for recovery, there are still hundreds of jobs being axed throughout public services. This includes soft ‘targets’ such as libraries and recycling departments.

Are We Clear of the Recession?

I and indeed many others feel that the recession will take much longer to recover from as the far reaching slump had devastating effects on the financial sector. People are still losing their jobs, many of whom are at an age whereby they cannot find alternative forms of employment. Politicians need to be realistic about how the recovery will shape and, more importantly, if there is to be more troubled times ahead they need to be honest about what cutbacks need to be implemented to balance the books.
