"The British Chambers of Commerce has called for more government spending on infrastructure, as it predicted that UK GDP would shrink by 0.4% in 2012.

"... The Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, John Longworth, called on politicians to do more to help the economy grow. He told the BBC:

"There are only a 150 MPs out of 650 that have ever been in business, and only 30 have got any qualifications in science.

We've now got a political class that's divorced from the reality of business and economics."
