Another Labour administration on the edge of going down the Pan of History, just like its predecessor under Callaghan and Healey in the late 1970s. Whats the betting if the UK loses its International Financial Credit Triple 'AAA' Rating, the IMF will have to step in and insist on severe fiscal measures to remedy the massive Government debt that has built up. Of course, it will be a Tory administration who will have to implement this, and it will be criticised by Labour in opposition for "Creating the Mess!!!".

If the UK is officially worse off than Greece, then we truly are in the 'Kakka', and Brown, Darling, Mandelson and others are still wittering on about their usual nonsense -"The UK is best place to come out of.....!"

Oh what 'porkies' they do tell!!
