He was on the One Show just before Christmas I think and we both thought he looked ill then - looked like he'd lost a lot of weight.

Well, you've obviously seen more of her than I have of him.

There have been PPE degrees at the major universities for decades. I think I would include the late John Smith in the 'altruistic' stable, although of course that could never have been proved to be the case.

And equally some monarchs were just plain crazy (all that inbreeding I guess). It's the unaccountability and the kick in the teeth for democracy that sticks in my craw. At least we can depose politicians (albeit we might have to wait a while). Without a bloody revolution we can't depose the monarch who could have the ability to act purely in his / her self-interest.

The main driver I think is the poor forecast from one of the credit ratings agencies as it says at the bottom of the article: On Tuesday, the Fitch ratings agency warned that the UK's top-notch sovereign credit rating could be cut if the Chancellor of the Exchequer's March budget shows debt levels continuing to rise. Strange thing is that Cameron is always banging on about how they're cutting the deficit. In other news: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/jan/17/benefits-squeeze-200000-children-poverty

This is the same car industry that's just seen the loss of 800 jobs (plus 300 temporary jobs) at Honda Swindon and a further 400 associated jobs nearby? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-21024847

That's why we need LAMBert on!
