LETTER: This is apropos a Business Recorder editorial "UK in deep recession" carried by the newspaper on Sunday. The newspaper has concluded its argument by saying that "The UK government has clearly got its work cut out for it. Now it must devote all its energies to rescuing the economy while also making sure that the coronavirus situation does not get any worse. So far, with a policy that failed so badly, the highest death rate in Europe and now this big GDP collapse, the Johnson government has not achieved much to write home about yet. How it deals with these multiple crises will surely define its legacy."
That UK recession is worst of any major economy in the world there is no doubt. It is said to be officially in recession for first time in 11 years. The UK's response to the coronavirus challenge has not been appropriate; in other words; its approach to the economic situation in the midst of the pandemic was highly disappointing to say the least.
