    “Many analysts believe Mr King made the crisis worse than it would otherwise have been, by initially denying troubled banks the emergency funding they desperately needed in the early months of the debacle.”

    And they are continuing doing so.

    Still we haven't got 25% inflation. But if we did have 25% inflation we would admit it not tell lies, lies and more damn lies.

    @Xect & Brit Bob

    Here my prediction boys, end 2012 and 2013 will be a decisive timeline for UK debt.

    At the moment nothing significantly has change so UK will face a debt crisis like Italy and Spain.

    Write it somewhere and we will discuss in the future how to live by your own means.

    Ah more uneducated nonsense eh dany?

    Strong growth is predicted from later and into 2013, not that it matters to the end result since the UK can maintain its own positon.

    As for living within your means, the Argentinian government should come see you for that one Mr master economist given its had to resort to stealing companies and has at to implement draconian measures to stop money leaving the country and there's the trade policies and rampant inflation etc etc.....

    Write that down and we will discuss how wrong you are for the millionth time (this week).

    Please like this page in order to force Argentina to return Misiones and Formosa Provinces to Paraguay, the country they were stolen from in 1870!

    Misiones and Formosa Provinces are provinces of Argentina that were seized and annaxed by Argentina from Paraguay this page is dedicated to address Argentine hyporcacy and ensuring their return to Paraguay.

    It's only right that Argentina first addresses its own hyocracy by re-examining its own history before talking about taking more land it has never had soverignty over. Not just the Falklands but South Georgia and the South Sandwhich Islands.
