It is not so sad?
Britain once the Queen of the seas, a wealthy nation and the dominant commerce power in the world now reduced to a shitty 3er world nation debating over if they will become a province of Germany or little Island without any future in the middle of nowhere.
Ah! the Yanks, new world order, the Bilderberg group, etc how have changed the world...
I can imagine the future economic charts listing countries GDPs with name of Briatin below Paraguay and Bolivia.
I just wonder how could be ruined a nation like this????
Dany, you can issue all the stupid comments you like but we know your warped and twisted views are light years from reality. After all, its free speech here. One can only presume tbey stem from burning envy and schaldenfreud or whatever you call it. One also hopes that our continuing Anglo wealth and success continues to rankle and rile you for the rest of your miserable existence.

Feb 10th, 2015 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the hell is your point other than a long rambling anti-British rant?
Despite your pathetic gloom saying the fact is that the UK is growing faster than most similarly advanced economies (including your precious Germany).
Actually the UK's GDP just overtook France to become the 2nd largest EU economy or the 5th largest in the world.
Feb 10th, 2015 - 04:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for an actual economy becoming smaller than Bolivia and Paraguay. Well Argentina is the only economy that is verifiably trending in this direction.
Dany, facts always trump emotion.
@1. A few little points, slag.
Feb 10th, 2015 - 05:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0WE don't want our interest rates rising.
You might have noticed that British WARships go where they like. Argie boats only contain silt. Assuming there's any room after the last bunch of tossers left all their shit.
If you want to know how to ruin a country, look to your own. The one you don't live in. How much do you owe? Well over US$100 billion. How's the inflation? Still holding at 48%? We've got new oil wells opening in the North Sea. Found anyone to do anything Vaca Muerta yet?
How are your many court cases? Judge Griesa doesn't like you, so you've lost that one. How's Baez doing? Losing more K money, is he?
With a massive overvalue of the british pound plus the consequences of the Grexit, what do you, stinky parasites, think that is going to happen with the british pound?
Feb 10th, 2015 - 09:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yes, it will be another massive collapse.
another black wednesday.
guess the honest british taxpayer will refuse to keep sending their few bucks to you, bunch of parasites.
you would better learn a job, you parasites.

So debt bomb not even started... tic toc, tic toc...

Feb 13th, 2015 - 08:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0What deterioration and relative to who?
The UK's debt-to-GDP ratio is high but not sufficiently high that we have problems (unlike various Southern European nations). Our high debt-to-GDP ratio is a result of maintaining public spending during a sustained worldwide slowdown; this is exactly what any sensible government should do, assuming it hadn't already accumulated too much debt (see Greece). We are currently running a deficit but this will be eliminated within a few year.
Further, unemployment in the UK is below the US, France, Italy, Spain, and our projected real GDP growth is well above most other advanced economies (except the US, but including Germany). See: http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2014/02/pdf/tblpartb.pdf
So, in conclusion, spare us your pathetically ill informed attempt at suggesting the UK is heading for economic oblivion. I think it's pretty clear than the Eurozone nations are in much more trouble.
But anyway, what's your interest in the UK's economy (or the Falkland Islands) other than some attempt at Schadenfreude?
It is difficult to debate with complete idiots.

Ha ha
You are having a lot of problems that are harming industries, rise of poverty, deteriorate standard of living, etc. The fact that your are better than Greece doesn’t mean you are fine.
Why are you printing money like crazy to keep your banks afloat?
