Are we talking 0.3% growth contrived through statistical fraud and funny money?

Any factual evidence to back that claim up?

No, didn't think so....

The areas where 12 of the 14 clubs are based are in recession. And the country is in the middle of an economic depression

The assumption that the official statistics are a pack of lies is, I admit, based merely on the assumption that the state is packed to the gunwales with habitual liars.

I assume you are not disputing that the UK prints money to buy its own debt. Without such an intervention the UK would be bust instead of simply trading whilst insolvent.

Depression?

Not quite

I am disputing that to a certain level as doing that would devalue the pound to next nothing so that's a stupid idea

Yes, it's the recession not the low intensity product on show

Only because we're not on the gold standard. This allows politicians to postpone economic collapse through currency debasement. See the economy of Zimbabwe for further details.

Well that's what's happening, and its not really a stupid idea as devaluing the currency is a good move in this environment. If Spain, Italy, Greece and Ireland had had that option they wouldn't be in quite the same mess they were/are in now.

Have you seen the price of gold/oil/productive land in sterling recently?

I would describe it as one. Some put a strict definition on the term 'depression', some use it to describe the overall picture over several years. I think the description fits even if the definition doesn't.

Lawrie, you're looking a bit out of your depth here lad. I'd step away now.

It's called "quantitative easing" and the mechanism involves using printed money to buy government bonds. It's been going on for a while, no secret.

Depends on your interpretation of going concern - would the UK have greater assets than liabilities if all the assets were valued? of course it has - if it hadn't no one would buy its bonds. Far from insolvent, heavily in debt yes insolvent no where near.
