    Here is an excellent economic reference chart for the European countries throughout the credit crunch.
    Should probably make this a stickey, or bookmark it at least.

    Great chart. Our budget deficit is far and away the worst. We're the only ones in negative double digits!
    I see in other areas, some other EU countries have real problems too. If we could "stop the rot" wrt deficit we'd be in no worse shape than some of the other eurozone countries (Italy/Greece). But it feels like a race to the bottom looking at that chart, and we're winning due the budget deficit issue...

    The bit that shocked me was the credit rating.

    The numbers in that chart are way out of date. It still has us at 6.6% unemployment etc.

    Frightening just how quick such numbers have gone out of date isn't it...

    Check out the this link in comparison to other countries ,we still need a big drop in house prices to follow.

    We still don't know where we stand globally.
