Re: [update] UK economy grows in Q1 2011

It's good news indeed. Shows how robust the UK economy's private sector is despite the mismanagement of it by Osborne and the other 'Liberal Conservatives'.

Incidentally I say it is good news because there are many underlying positives. Not that these will be noticed by the kind of people who post things like:

Hardly a ringing endorsement of the health of the economy. Basically the economy has sat still since September, whilst inflation has carried forward at over 4%.
When of course GDP growth is expressed in real terms - inflation is in itself a GDP increaser so a 4% increase in prices across the board with nothing else changing is, obviously, a 4% increase in nominal GDP as the value of all goods and services produced has gone up by that 4%, or more correctly the value of money has gone down by the requisite amount.
