Another way of looking at the downturn
Eurobarometer has been polling the European polis on what it reckons to the slump, and I have charted the figures for those judging the consequences 'very important' for the world economy and for themselves:
Our Scandinavian and Dutch friends distinguish themselves by being less than concerned for themselves, but being quite seriously concerned for the global economy. The closest match of concern levels is for Romania and Latvia, while the Irish, Greeks and Magyars are the most alarmed for the world overall.
Meanwhile, I am extemely irked that I cannot find voting figures for yesterday on the Gurkha issue.
