    UK's AAA credit rating threatened by 'formidable challenges'

    Oh dear...

    Moody's warns that UK could face a downgrade as "formidable and rising challenges" such as the deficit increase since 2008 have eroded ability to absorb further fiscal shocks.

      The question is whether we will still be able to feed our 70-100 million population by the end of 2012 as things progress beyond money next year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Apparently the police already have been issued the right to kill as things liven up.

        So that's better to blame some populist politician who got elected and left with a nice pension pot whilst the country is paying the debts rather than submit to ze German's iron will of making sure such things don't happen?

          Given a choice between stringing up Gordon Brown or being ruled by your mate Hitler, I know what I would prefer to do.

            I don't think Hitler is known for policy of capping budget deficits in order not to go bust on debt, hence your comparison is as invalid as your warped view of the modern Europe.

              That confirms its, you're sasguru's dad and he lives in a shed at the bottom of your garden.
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Amazing only 5 posts later and you managed to use the H word in a completely unrelated context to the OP; you're obsessed.

                  Maybe we should have a whip round to send DodgyAgent on a holiday to the fatherland, so he can see how terrible it is to be run by the Germans.

                    Good idea.

                    I'll contribute 5 euros to it.

                    50 if he stays there
