North Tyneside high street 'revived' by fake shop front
QUOTE Fake businesses are to be used to lessen the impact of the recession on high streets in North Tyneside. With 140 empty shops in the borough, council bosses think they have come up with a unique way of ensuring shopping areas remain as vibrant as possible. The first empty shop unit to be given a makeover with a "flat pack" shop front is in Whitley Bay. North Tyneside Council said the move was cost-effective and would help to attract new investment. The council said the fake shop in Whitley Bay - which alone has 49 empty units - has been welcomed by traders and shoppers..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/8548069.stm -------------------- http://www.archive.org/details/George-Orwell-1984-Audio-book

-------------------- Modern fiat money "shorts" the currency, and is backed by debt. The debt is real. A debt deflation will lead to a prolonged period of deleveraging, where the short-covering of currencies will strengthen currencies relative to asset prices. At the global level, in the FX market, central currencies will benefit from deleveraging at the expense of peripheral currencies. Due to instability and uncertainty, gold will benefit against all currencies as it continues to be monetized.
Hold on to your hats for hyper-deflation, where cash is king, and gold is the king of cash. |

Busy deceiving and achieving nothing. Sums up the vast majority of the UK in microcosm. As long as the illusion of normality continues, everything is ok in the mind of the majority. Grigory Potemkin is alive and well on Tyneside.

Is it me or does the news become more like a spoof all the time? Maybe "The day today" and "Brass eye" were actually just pilots.

Are the Owners of these commercial shops are going to allow the use of these empty shops to create a dillusion rent free, plus the outgoings? Seems very desparate indeed. |

Bet on swings; and stay flexible. What are bipolar markets? See: http://tinyurl.com/GEI-Manix

Reminds me of the end of Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles"; a suitably farcical contrast...
