    NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn! I can't say it - you'll have to say it.

    They were discussing the german cuts on German TV, still peanuts, and they're bigger than the UK cuts.

    The only way out is through hefty cuts a la Ireland/Spain/Portugal etc etc, a spot of growth wouldn't go amiss. The really big problem is the looming retirement from the baby boomers, not just the UK but everywhere. This could be phase 3 of the financial crisis.
