2007
Sarko Wardrobe; a new president takes charge. Who will he be?
Darling Steep Gradient; Gordon Brown hands over the Treasury wheel to Alastair Darling. In the first week of his tenure, the bank of England raises the bank base rate to 5.75% in order to keep the lid on inflation. This will hurt mortgage payers. With personal debt at the highest levels ever, and the economy based on a fragile consumer spending boom, the road ahead could be quite rocky.
Bozzer's Poorhouse; well, London's not going to be a socialists' paradise.
King Kong Dubya; An economy less rosy by the minute due to the sub-prime mortgage scandal, people's houses being reposessed at an alarming rate, a Democrat-controlled Congress causing headaches, a personal approval rating lower than any incumbent in US history...things sure ain't lookin good fer the mighty Dubya. He only has one exit.
