Ohrly?
If this turns out to be true (and it might not) then I have but one thing to say.
Double dip recession fears as service sector growth stalls via Guardian.co.uk

The companies surveyed - which account for about 40% of the economy - were only slightly more optimistic than in June, when Osborne's austerity budget hammered their hopes of a swift recovery. Reflecting dwindling confidence and a slowdown in order book growth, they cut staff, casting further doubt over the private sector's ability to provide jobs as government departments are shrunk.
emphasis mine.
Ha. Ha. What a goddamn surprise.
So much for the Private Sector welcoming newly laid-off Public Sector employees with open arms, as I'm sure Cameron and Osbourne were counting on. They've evidently not factored in how much business public sector contracts can provide.
And while all this is happening, Ian Duncan-Smith is busy demonising people on the dole. It makes me wonder precisely how much control Dave has over his party, and if there is any true centralised plan or just a mishmash of vaguely similar ideological efforts.
Usually you can play a game of "Follow The Money", but I'm suddenly wondering who is actually benefiting from all this stuff. I thought it was their pals in the Private Sector... but, now I'm not so sure.
It's in the Guardian, and it's only a handful of companies, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was in fact the case.
