  Sid the Catholic Church is now the leading Church here in the UK and outstrips in numbers all other Church groups here in the UK, a fact just about being recognised by the state at last, but of course still not the 'official' church which alas continues to both implode and dwindle over issues such as gay priests, women priests and so on.
  
  So a visit from the Pope to a massive chunk of voters and a massive chunk of the population wont be wasted.
  
  But back to the business angle in Ricks original post. The Osborne emergency budget has almost certainly had a negative effect on business. Im out of business these days and am very glad about that. Labour were fearing a double dip recession if these massive cuts were implemented by the Tories and this is very likely to happen. There is already talk of 600,000 workers from the public sector alone losing their jobs...spread this job cut situation right across the board, right across the economy, and couple it with every Government Minister talking the economy down on national TV by promising even more severe cuts of 40% ...then you can see where the business problems are coming from.
  
  in a nutshell...confidence is gone. The people out there taking the cuts and job losses are the spenders in the high st. The ones that generate business. They wont be spending now...confidence gone...businesses struggle.
