It's probably me but it is really starting to feel as though some one out there is looking for a power-shift of some sort here in the UK. OK, the global economic turn-down has made things pretty crappy for some people (not all) but if you look at the evidence coming through, things haven't been a fraction as bad as during the last recession. In fact it would seem to be very short-lived and less painful to the vast majority of the population. As this article states, it is actually looking as though the huge finacial injections that this government (Labour) has used as a tool to get the country though this difficult stage is actually working. Add in the fact that mortgage lending is actually up 29% on February stats, things are really starting to look promising (but you'll not hear anyone brave or foolish enough to use the phrase 'Green Shoots').

But Shhhhhh, don't let the voter/consumer know as they might start to feel a little positive about things and get us out of this slow-down even faster
