Chancellor Alistair Darling has said that there is "no doubt" the UK economy is slowing and has warned it will be a "difficult year" ahead.
Rising food and fuel prices were hitting consumers, he told the BBC.
If you have only just realised this then it is time you made way for someone who is at least capable of reading the newspapers ~ bloody badger lookalike ~ Nick! Take The Boy to Downing Street and give him a long stick!

The chancellor has forecast that the economy will grow by between 2.5% and 3% next year.
However, economists are predicting the rate of growth will be closer to 1.3%.
Asked about the difference in the two forecasts, Mr Darling said he would be looking again at his growth figures in the pre-Budget report in the autumn.
In other words he knows his forecast is too optimistic but he's not prepared to admit it just yet.

Penguin suits, tuxedos, dinner jackets et alia I always associate with celebration, happiness, even frivolity. It only served to make his speech even less credible noooo:
IIRC Broon never wore one; at least one thing he did manage to recognise.

And whilst he was speaking the BoE's Deputy, Sir John Gieve (think Gieves & Hawkes) was passing a note of resignation to Mervyn. Apparently it's now recognised that he's not up to the task eeek:
Gieve, who was slightly less than competent in the handling of Northern Rock...
who was... according to the Evening Standard today
Charterhouse and Oxford-educated Sir John, a career civil servant and former Treasury mandarin of 20 years, joined the Bank after leaving the Home Office. He was permanent secretary at the Home Office between 2001 and 2005, including when David Blunkett was Home Secretary, and is reputed to "know where the bodies are buried".
During the Blunkett affair, he was unable to recall how a visa for the minister's nanny was fast-tracked and failed to declare that his wife's firm of solicitors was acting for Mr Blunkett. He also came under heavy fire after 1,000 prisoners were not considered for deportation after serving jail terms.

So, first the Home Office then the Bank of England. Where next can Sir John show his incompetence?

I imagine his cousins in the family business are NOT answering the phone rubschin:
