PM Cameron fumble turns austerity and budget cuts policy into a national debate
Prime Minister David Cameron was reprimanded by a budget watchdog for claiming that it did not see his austerity agenda as a drag on Britain's economy. In a speech on Thursday, Cameron said his deficit-cutting agenda was not responsible for the country's depressed growth rate which was instead caused by the financial crisis, the Euro zone's problems and higher oil prices - a view he said was endorsed by the independent watchdog.

Mar 10th, 2013 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's funny that any Argentine has the gall to talk about the UK's economy when theirs is the laughing stock of the world.
The joke's on you suckers!
It's like the morbidly obese kid in the playground pointing and laughing at another kid carrying a couple of extra pounds. They will never get it. The 'look over there!' distraction only works on the domestic Argentine audience.

London is a majority minority city. The Latins are making fun.of the poor ethnics that now make up thr economy, the same middle-class Anglos are still middle-class.
Mar 10th, 2013 - 07:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Trolls aside, Camoron IS a Moron. He hasn't got a clue how to “lead” this country and it is his deficit-cutting agenda that is leading us towards a treble dip recession.

Remember that joint fertilizer exploration with Brazilian investment that the Arg president celebrated? $5.9 B (projected to run to $11B. Seems like Brazil is be canceling it: www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/10/vale-argentina-riocolorado-idUSL1N0C20NW20130310.

Mar 11th, 2013 - 12:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0If the UK is as you claim 'bankrupt', then just how bad is Argentina?
Sorry, silly question. Refusing to pay what it owes. That is technically called 'in default', and that's after telling creditors that they wont see the money back that they invested in Argentina. That is technically called 'theft'.
I'm sure that is a way of life for you..
Malvinero....? Is that a bad winemaker or what, please translate? The referendum is finished tommorow which is Commonwealth day by the way. Want to join?
Mar 11th, 2013 - 12:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well I'm fairly new to this site, but have been reading the comments for quite some time, It would appear that the Trolls that appear on here are complete morons. I've noted that some don't even live or are suspected to not live in Arg. To comment on the UK economy and know what its actually like on the ground in Arg. you have to be a complete imbecile to put forward the view that the UK is economically finshed compared to Arg. The UK is on the ropes economically like a lot of Euro countries, but Arg is in a far worse state and is likely to implode at any moment.
Mar 11th, 2013 - 12:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, it has deteriorated significantly since I started visiting Argentina five years ago for long periods. The high crime rate is indicative of the dire situation for the Argentines.

Mar 11th, 2013 - 01:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Stealing from thieves isn't exactly theft. Consider the money Europe and North America isn't getting back from Argentina a down payment of your reparations to Africa and Asia.
@17 It's nice to see that even in your deranged assertions that we make reparations to Africa and Asia, you still think that Argentina somehow deserves a cut. You really are the kleptomaniac capital of the world.
Mar 11th, 2013 - 02:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0What's your problem today ninja? Did you steal hundreds of billions during the empire days and the slave trade yes or no? Didn't Spain? Dutch? France? Portugal? Belgium? Denmark? Italy and Germany (in Africa).
Mar 11th, 2013 - 02:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes.
@18 lol
Mar 11th, 2013 - 03:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0You people know you stole fortunes from your conquered lands and thus you completely elude the issue with poor circumventing maneuvers.
Mar 11th, 2013 - 03:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Um dude, your thieving country has turned “poor circumventing maneuvers” into a fine art. Well, less “fine art” and more some sort of unpleasant modern art made of dog turds. Every day we see Argentina try to wriggle out of its responsibilities by bleating/whining/blaming/lying/diverting - anything other than do the decent thing.
Mar 11th, 2013 - 06:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do try and drag yourself into the 21st century and realise that just because most of Europe did unsavoury things 100/200/300 years ago it doesn't give you carte blanche to do the same today.
Some fine examples of Argentinian progress
