11 months of growth?

Something must have happened 12 months ago that has sparked this surge.

My memory isn't what it was, I'll check the archives and see if there's anything there.

Edit: Silly me, it's in the report - something about a virus:

The rebound in demand from COVID-19 lockdowns propelled global manufacturing output growth to its fastest for 11 years at the start of the second quarter. But supply delays hit a record high, limiting production in many companies and driving goods prices higher at a rate not previously recorded by the survey, with the US reporting the steepest increase.

Quite bizarre how some good news about a sector slowly recovering from the devastating impact of covid is met with such nonsense.
Not surprising on here sadly but nonsense nonetheless. 

Sorry, I thought he'd put it in the politics thread.

Such good news quite rightly belongs in the Coronavirus thread.

Some folk just want the nation to fail so they can have a pop at the government for not doing enough to aid the recovery. They are miserable nitpicking twats.

Guaranteed you would point score politically if it was bad news. 100% guaranteed from you.

Your question is answered in my reply above 

Well now

As you know, I work in UK manufacturing. I am much closer to it than some desk jockey in London spouting off on Twitter.

So you'll understand that my very livelihood depends on its success.

The figures are great, but they are a direct consequence - as Esco correctly pointed out - of our crawl out of Covid. A crawl helped in no small part by a superb vaccination programme.

I'm merely guiding these figures away from any suggestion of a Brexit impact, because I promise you we are a long way from any advantages of that yet. They may come. They may not.

ha ha - Vote Watch? Come on you can do better than that.

Anymore tinfoil wordpress sites.

I mean this place accuses Kussenberg of being anti Boris and the far left accuses her of being pro-Tory.

Which explains it all really. You'll be quoting Order Order next.
