I agree the next 18-24 months will be rough, but noone knows how well we can recover. You cannot assume it will last an entire generation, although obviously it makes for better drama to post it.
We have more experience and understanding in dealing with recession, and a UK government willing to take/lead significant early action.
Yes it's unfortunate to be graduating out of an FTO now, but telling wannabes to wait for 5 years to start training is just wrong.
Why would we listen to the economical rantings of people who cant even spell correctly? Just laughable.
Timescale for future economic recovery will be based on backbone more than anything; something that's largely unpredictable.
