With the Eurozone sliding towards recession, all eyes remain on the Chancellor to protect the UK from the same downward direction. In order to avoid the prospect of a double dip, the UK has to be repositioned for business growth and George Osborne is hoping the British public will roll up their sleeves and create the stimulus needed to aid economic recovery. The financial benefits awarded to small businesses are welcomed but the concern remains that if the current plans for the economy continue to produce lack lustre results, there is no clear plan B in place. All eyes are on now on the Chancellor meeting his revised forecasts for growth and debt deficit, as the mood of the country is that there is no room for further failure.
