B-b-but I thought Cowardly Gordo McMonocularBroon and his gang of fiscal rapists had brought Teh Country To Its Knees in some way totally unique to the UK and that it wasn't really a worldwide problem at all. Now you're telling me other countries are *worse* than us? *sound of rightwing talking points exploding*.

In truth, as I've pointed out before, we're not the worst, not the best, somewhere in the middle, with perfectly manageable national debt, a deficit issue and potentially an unemployment one, plus the problem that it's hard to export your way out of recession when you don't make very much any more except whizzy financial instruments, and the market for that's not what it was...

On the bright side, the pound's fallen so London's full of European tourists.
