“Recession” is a word that politicians avoid using. However, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has addressed the recession issue directly and warned that Britain is in a severe economic downturn:

He would accept the risk of my being killed or wounded, but if the Chinese Communists or North Koreans ever took me prisoner, and threatened blackmail, he could be forced to resign the presidency. I agreed to that condition wholeheartedly. I would take my life before being captured.”
