SINCE the latest figures on the economy came out, the news media have been making a meal of how bad they are, especially the BBC.
They bang on about how the Coalition decisions to combat the dreadful deficit is not working and a double dip recession is imminent.
Do they choose to ignore the fact that December had the worst weather for decades with Christmas sandwiched in between, with the building industry shut down for two weeks?
It’s ridiculous to blame anyone and would be better to give out a more positive message and put the latest figures to a down to a seasonal blip, which it was.
