UK will go first as it has nothing to fall back on - no manufacturing, no resources...nothing. Except maybe IT but that is only kept afloat by cheap imported labour.

All fooked. America will pop later as they hold the reserve currency.

Japan to go pop soon. UK depends if we fall on Europe to bail us out in exchange for capitulating to complete control, which will buy us some time.
