November 2010 – Lord Young forced to quit as the PM’s enterprise adviser after saying Brits “never had it so good” in this “so-called recession”
October 2011 – After the furore dies down, Cameron rehires Lord Young, as a…enterprise adviser.
Today – Lord Young AGAIN denies there’s a recession, saying “I am not sure the Government can actually measure the economy any more…The internet has had such a tremendous effect on business the last few years. I’m not sure for example sales through google, eBay, ever get measured…One of the things I think we are doing if we are not careful is we are going to talk ourselves into a recession.”
How long before Cameron forces him out again? And then hires him again? And then… etc etc etc
