Thinking about it a bit more, it may just be a plunge with no blip first. We normally have to endure 30 mins of inaccurate or at least carefully massaged figures to show how good the government has been, then a tax cut then tax rise. However the things that affect us most will not be read out in parliament, but concealed in the written statement which is released only minutes if not seconds before the chancellors statement. However it is expected that the vast amount of government borrowing will be revealed, well they will talk it down, but in order to prop up the the UK economy they will need several times what has already bee admitted to. The UK foreign currency reserves believed to be about only £30B will be a fraction of what it will take to support sterling. Things are only just starting to get bad, we have a long long way down to go and there are morons talking about having reached the bottom! The bottom will not even be in sight in the far distance for 6-12 months yet, maybe a lot longer.
