  4. From your own data, out of the top 20 countries only 3 are from Eastern Europe the other 17 are not. How is this table supporting the "invasion" of Easter Europeans????

  5. I enjoyed my time in London, nice airport for plan spotting, but I enjoyed Nottingham much more. Haven't been back to judge the cultural change, but I do recall the locals trying to passify the Muslim minority. Not a good sign. I wonder if Londoners have given in to political correctness, and have accepted their fate as subservient to islam. Anyone been there recently to see this?

    The number of crimes committed divided by the number of people of that nationality is what matters, the absolute number is useless since the poles are probably the largest group of immigrants. My guess is that Romanians will win this one.

  9. A collapse in tax revenues will send government borrowing soaring above £60 billion this year, it emerged last night.

    Gordon Brown is preparing to tear up his “golden rule” on debt in order to fund a massive spending spree to counter the looming recession. Some economists predict that the level of government borrowing could reach £110 billion by 2011.

    The triple shocks of the financial markets crash, housing slump and rising inflation will cause a drastic reduction in the billions of pounds that the Treasury normally receives in stamp duty, corporation tax and income tax, combined with the need to spend more on benefits.

    But Alistair Darling will confirm tomorrow that new, “flexible” financial rules will be introduced to allow the Government to borrow as much as £3,225 for every person in the country in an effort to stave off an even deeper recession. (Source: The Times).

    Gordon and Alistair, two bozzos with no clue.

    Short GBP.

  10. Gordon Brown has long experience from the UK finance ministry (over 10 years, the longest serving UK chancellor for 200 years) and from the IMF.

    I think Gordon Brown has a lot more clue than Henry Paulson or George W. Bush - and Brown has been hailed by many leading economists around the world for acting quickly and decisively with the right kind of measures. The UK adopted the same bank rescue strategy as the Scandinavian governments some decades ago, which has been a proven success. Mexico did some home re-mortgaging when they went through a strong crisis, and this may have some merit as well for the US.
