Not a clue, but economies have before. People were jumping off buildings in the USA in 1929, but that country recovered.

Why do you ask that question? Do you think it won't?

Rozzers to ballot on right to strike This could be interesting for the "Law & Order party". Even Thatcher knew not to get on the wrong side of them

I sense you are a bit of a glass half empty kind of guy. Jobs are good, whatever side of whatever fence you sit on.

Yeah ok, a huge company like GSK just decided, after weighing up all the factors and investigating all the costs etc, to make a major investment in the UK, less than 18 hours after the budget was announced. Absolute rubbish. This was a decision that had already been made but obviously GSK had been persuaded to delay the announcement until after the budget. Since GSK hasn't said its because of this budget but because of the patent box that was mentioned in budgets since 2009. No company makes a decision of that size and importance in 18 hours.
