This was just breaking news on Sky News website:

Shares in London are falling as fears grow of a global recession. Within the first few minutes of trading, the FTSE 100 index of leading shares had fallen by 37 points - or 0.9%.

I mean, come on, it moves like that on an hourly basis.

I really think they are trying to destroy the country!

Indeed - I think they got caught out actually - the probably saw the Asian markets lose and thought the FTSE would do the same - it opened down ~100pts (still not massive but enough) and then quickly rose back to just 30 pts down... It's downhill from here imo.

24 hour news channels have to fill their day with something, talking the country down into a recession seems to be their current pet project.

This is what happens when you have to will 24hrs with 'news'. Quantity, not quality begins to count.
