Now the IMF are predicting the UK economy will be the fastest growing of the G7 developed nations this year. They have revised their January estimate of 2.4% upwards to 2.9% - ahead of the US. Good news.

The pre-election handouts continue apace today with news that after David Cameron had promised "to do all he could" to prevent the closure of Kellingley Colliery (who would have thought it, a Tory PM supporting the miners) and today he bungs then £10million to keep the pit open for another year.

Maybe just a coincidence that one of the union reps was on local radio today speaking of a new seam that they about to open which has upwards of £150 million worth of coal in it - could be completely coincidental of course.

between 2008 and 2013 coal miners hourly pay rate has apparently (per this morning's Metro) fallen by 29%. So, I guess he's happy about low production costs.

Compare that with a 68% rise in legal professionals hourly rates.

Well if a troll is someone who disagrees with you then so be it. At least you can't argue with my point about the good news on growth.

Is a troll someone who implies that a forecast or prediction is bound to happen?
