Ethan Harris, the bank's chief North American economist, said early data for August suggest that "an already weak recovery is getting weaker" with a rising risk of a relapse into recession, yet the two parties seemed determined to outbid each other with austerity measures. "Politicians are clamouring for quick action, not to stimulate a dangerously weak economy, but to bring down the budget deficit.

THE release of a notorious killer who shot dead a German tourist and then savagely attacked his family has been criticised by MSPs as another example of "soft-touch Scotland".

I watched the movie Kick-Ass, with some considerable misgivings, but ended up doing so, mostly because everything else seemed even worse.
