Yes a whopping 2,000 replies to one of those polls and 7,000 for another.

And to think you criticised one of my polls for having 27,000 replies.

Twenty seven thousand replies - but you and Him don't agree with the result of it, so it's irrelevant but then your polls with 2,000 replies are gospel.

You know, I gave you some credit, I really didn't think you were that thick, you've proved me wrong.

It's difficult to compare to European economies due to the restrictions of the Euro. The US however, was quickly into growth thanks to a fiscal stimulus.

aaaah, so you don't want to compare us to a region that is in basket case territory, yet you do want to compare us to somewhere that is almost normal. To suggest that the eurozone crisis hasn't had a startling effect on our economy is laughable. Hell, I'm sure it was in the press last week that the chinese economy is slowing in part to the eurozone.

Hmmm well Labour brought us out of one, then the Tories took us into one AFTER the causes of the global recession. That's not global/non-governmental effects, that's caused by government policies.
I don't pretend the government can hold back the global economic tides, but they can mitigate their effects. Labour did that to some degree. This government failed to do that.

so, with todays gdp figures, you'll put the best growth since 2007 down to tory policies?

You obviously have no idea, 10 points is quite a large lead and would lead to a Labour majority of over 120 seats in parliament. As the Tories poll figures have been on a downward trend and being split apart by UKIP, it's worrying for the Tories. I see you have as much idea about polls as Ajw does. I'm sure Wikipedia can explain it all for you

i would have 'no idea' if they then held an election within minutes of conducting the poll, however, as there hasn't been a change of government i'm guessing there hasn't been one. a 10 point lead is marvellous, but it could have been announced as a 50 point lead or a 1 point lead, at this moment in time it means bugger all. a week is a long time in politics and it's the economy, stupid. if you're wondering who said those things, try wikipedia, you seem to be an expert on what it does or doesn't contain.

Not quite as fast as you (and they) would like us to do.

Surprises surprise the service sector does well when we have a month of Olympic euphoria (and the ticket income is included in the figures), but the construction sector tanked, by 2.5%. Lets see what the figures in the next quarter are before we get the trumpets out.

And almost as soon as the news came out, it was followed by that of Ford closing plants and cutting at least 1,300 jobs.
