So what exactly could these 2 do to stop people selling shares?

If i was Cameron, i'd be putting my feet up with my cold beer, knowing i'd taken the necessary steps to put the UK back on track, happy that my economy wasn't going to be dragged into the mire from full Euro membership. In fact i'd be tempted to have a few extra beers so that i did lose a little control, just to know how it must feel for Obama, Merkel, Sarkozt et al at the moment.

Exactly?? They can't control something they have no control over!

GlesgaKiss

@ Tel - Haha, love it.

Well, the opening paragraph states:

They can control the UK's response.

I noticed on your petrol thread you posted this:

Is our economy really got a chance of coping with all the troubles?

Well, the Tories have been in control for quite a while now .... and it looks like they are happily leading us down the path of another recession - this one will be Tory led, so a LOT worse than the last little fiasco!

Which we are still paying for and will be for a bloody long time to come.

and there was me thinking this country was actually starting to take control this last year or so and working a slow way out of it.

or is that what they are just wanting us all to think, i feel like other countrys are in mega dodo and were are slowly going from downwards to a pause and hopefully one day start climbing out

pslewis

We simply haven't been picked on yet.

News on the wires is that the US has been downgraded Credit wise ... THAT is going to send shockwaves around the world!!

Pete, this is way bigger than Tories, Labour or whatever, it is global, don't overestimate our importance.

Germany's budget defecit is one third of ours, they have high personal savings and only China exports more. They have a trade surplus. I dont think we do.

dpb

Before now hes been blaming all our woes on the global ecomony rather than his hero

NOW hes blaming it all on the tory government

dpb

But they cany support the rest of Europe , can they ?

paulr

Yes,yes and yes. In true Dunkirk spirit, if we have to we will. I'm sure of it.

Did you know in the last 200 years, for 150 of them, our national debt has been higher than it is now. And we survived.

That's interesting. What's the source of that figure (curious rather than disputing).

Certainly, if the Eurozone and USA are in the doldrums, even if we were doing better, we'd still be dragged down by our trading partners, not that we export much at the best of times.

As has been said, if the 2008 crisis and subsequent recession was due to world events (which I think largely it was), then the same can probably be said of the UK's current situation. In insurance jargon it's known as "proximate cause"!

Leslie

I think we have almost got him to admit to the gross ineptitude of his heroes!

Les

Leslie

I did not know that, i am surprised there was not a much greater fuss being made about it.

We can only live in hope. Can we do it with our dearth of a manufacturing base now?

Les

Funkii Munkii

Not nearly as deluded as those last two sweaty minges that ran the cuntry

Leslie

Succintly put!
