I have looked below the surface as Barry recommended to you and from what I read and deduce,with my very limited left wing sighted foolish and envious position,(as no doubt Barry will remind everyone) is that Osborne is the laughing stock of Europe his bloody rushed through spending cuts have left Britain idling behind our European rivals.
For example,as you correctly quoted, growth in Germany is triple that of the UK and France's double.Even the gormless Greeks managed to do better than our dawdling 0.5% performance in the first three months of this year.We have even been overtaken by the Dutch and wait for it...the cheap fag floggers of Europe ...the BELGIANS
Germany's GDP - soared by 1.5% and France's by 1% in the first three months of this year. The Netherlands grew 0.9%, Belgium by 1% while troubled Greece jumped 0.8% - the average across the EU. Britain's 0.5% in the same quarter followed a shock 0.5% fall in the previous three months.
So looking at growth over the past six months, the UK came 20th out of 22 countries there is no argument that Osborne has made a political decision to cut further and faster than any other leading economy.
But that is not just a loony lefties ,like me, view even the Tories ex adviser Geoff Dicks critised Osborne stating he will miss his targets...targets a blight in the British language.
