    UK warned again about possible credit rating downgrade

    See what happens when I'm away for 24 hours? The whole world goes topsy turvy.


    BBC News - UK warned again about possible credit rating downgrade

    The Fitch credit ratings agency has joined Moody's and put the UK's top AAA rating on "negative outlook".

    Fitch Ratings warned on Wednesday that it could downgrade the UK in the next few years if the government does not contain the level of public debt.

    The warning comes as Chancellor George Osborne puts the finishing touches to this year's Budget, which will be delivered next week.

              And then sell it back to ourselves at a profit.
