Confidence Will Come Surging Back

Boris Johnson, mayor of London and former editor of the Spectator, is bullish on the economy, as bad in England as here:

It was the great Colonel Kilgore in "Apocalypse" Now who said, ‘Some day this war’s gonna end.’ And some day this recession is going to end too. Confidence is going to come surging back with all the biological inevitability of the new infatuation that follows a broken heart. In the meantime, there’s always bicycle hire schemes and bacon sandwiches.
