Some of us saw it coming

I am getting really fed up with people who say that why did nobody tell me about the upcoming recession, or downturn as some would prefer to call it.

May I share with readers what I see happening over the next couple of years in respect of the state of the economy, the reason being that I anticipate a depression the like of which has not been seen for 80 years.

You may well say that it is easy to have the benefit of hindsight, a large body of people now say what I say in my second paragraph.

That however, is not the full story, you see I used to contribute letters to my local newspaper here in Exeter and the extract I show above was actually printed on the 19th July, 2007, note 2007.

So, Nick, when you interview either a politician, a philosopher or an economist you tell them to just read the local newspapers where there is more hidden talent than anybody can imagine.

In my letter I also suggested that Gordon Brown should hold an election in May 2008, advice which he declined, and we can see the result of that decision, well now I am telling him to go for an election in May 2009, advice which he had beter take because people will be very angry when the real problems hit Britain. Go for it Gordon, or there will be a return to Tory boom and bust, rather than labour boom and bust, which is of course totally different.
