    Telegraph:
    "Carbon trading fraudsters may have accounted for in some European countries, up to 90pc of all market activity with criminals pocketing an estimated €5bn (£4.5bn) mainly in Britain, France, Spain, Denmark and Holland, according to Europol, the European law enforcement agency."

    Re the PBR
    various newspapers point out that
    "According to the institute, his plan to increase National Insurance contributions will actually hit anyone earning more than £14,000, and not £20,000 as the Treasury had said. "

    Do not know the mechanism of this but on top of the pay back of benefits after the election, Darlings efforts look increasingly miserable.

    Thought Portillo was good dealing with the global warming creep on 'This Week'

    I made the point yesterday that the rating agencies have been put under pressure by the Government. They will only downgrade our status if their credibility starts to take a battering.

    They hold a huge amount of political power. Can they really be objective about a country that regulates them. Markets need to start making their own minds up.

    I worked on credit derivatives and have now moved onto real time risk at the one global bank that didn't buy into the "debt group think".

    I'm begining to think the agencies need to start considering down grading Uk gilts with the option of revising it after the next budget / election.
