Britain has the highest level of debt among the major economies bar Japan, research has found.

Over the past three years combined public and private sector borrowing has risen to more than 500% of national output. The alarming rise since the height of the financial crisis has been fuelled by debt in the financial sector as people seek to borrow their way out of the economic slump, according to consultancy McKinsey. Even at current trends it will take until 2020 for the UK to return to pre-2003 debt levels. Furthermore, UK lenders may have been more patient with homeowners in negative equity, which could be disguising the full extent of the mortgage debt problem, the report said. The 60-page report by McKinsey Global Institute compared major economies since 2008. The study said: 'Overall, the United Kingdom needs to steer a difficult course: reduce government deficits and encourage household debt reduction – without limiting GDP growth.'

Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Eastman Kodak Co. bonds dropped after the 131-year-old imaging company filed for bankruptcy protection.

The company’s $250 million in 7.25 percent senior unsecured notes due November 2013 dropped 4.25 cents to 28.75 cents on the dollar as of 9:42 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The notes have plunged from 86.5 cents on Aug. 31 and from par as late as April.

The inventor of Instamatic cameras filed for bankruptcy today after revenue tumbled from traditional film and it lagged competitors Canon Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. in digital cameras and printers.

A committee of banks and investors that governs the credit- default swaps market was asked to rule whether the bankruptcy filing triggered payouts on contracts linked to its debt, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association said on its website.

Banks, hedge funds and other investors had bought or sold a net $788.8 million of protection against a Kodak default as of Jan. 13, according to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp.

Oh Tanker don't be a Plonker

What, I can't ear you. :-)

I see Cameron's next U-Turn is on the NHS.

What a Plonker.

For many, he seems to be becoming bigger and bigger a spiv, or clown.

He should go back to his barrow, before he completely ruins the country.

Even his own party is wanting to disown him.

Turned out nice :-)

YouGov’s weekly poll for the Sunday Times results here.

"On leader ratings David Cameron stands at minus 3 (from from 7 last week), Nick Clegg at minus 50 (from minus 49 last week) and Ed Miliband at minus 53, his worst so far and the first time he has dropped below Nick Clegg. Only 18% think Miliband is doing well, compared to 71% who think he is doing badly. Amongst Labour’s own supporters 50% now think Miliband is doing badly."

Unfortunately, the public swallow the glib and tub-thumping sometimes for far too long.
The present lot started of blaming labour for mismanagement then Europe and now are blaming the Lib Dems.

Why don’t they accept their responsibilities for higher and higher unemployment, looming recession, rejections by Europe and numerous other ill-thought and deluded policies?

Only hope the public wakes up before the hearse has left them buried and the present government has transferred to the Cayman Islands with the loot.

Cameron won’t dare hold an election, he knows he would lose.

This governing elitist mob are more dangerous than the Bankers were.

I'm saying nothing.
