GDP = Gloom, Doom & Pessimism

The good news is that the UK’s economy has grown in the last three months. The bad news is, apparently, the 0.2% growth isn’t enough. But there are extenuating circumstances, of course.


First up, there was a royal wedding. Forget the 'feel good' factor, what counts is it's bad for the economy! Presumably not enough commemorative mugs and union flags were sold.


Then there was the unseasonably warm weather. But that’s good, isn’t it? We’re always being told to conserve our energy. But that’s the problem; when we do, we spend less on gas and electricity! So come on everyone! Turn up the heat and give our GDP a boost! Forget the carbon emissions; after all, we all want Britain to be great again, don’t we?
