Err, becuase the UK is but a few months from a debt downgrade, quickly followed by a boycott of gilts, followed by default and bankruptcy.
But, don't worry, keep calm and carry on (voting Labour).Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous?

Linky.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
