Though the financial expert quoted doesn't sound too convinced does he.
A more sympathetic article from the times that also mentions a laughable quote of 139 million core fans

Financial experts and economists always say the budget statement should be given a week before you can say whether the economy is in good shape or not, because it takes that long to go through the fine detail.

The Guardian obituary of Sir John Harvey Jones

I am not a fan of businessmen or financiers, they are usually odious creeps, but this guy at least seemed like a normal human being. I enjoyed his TV series, it helped in respecting him, that he despised Thatcher and her monetarist followers so much. And he was right, this quote still holds true today "If we imagine the UK can get by with a bunch of people in smocks showing tourists around medieval castles, we are quite frankly out of our tiny minds."
