Warning for Britain as financial chaos spreads to Spain

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/7649392/Warning-for-Britain-as-financial-chaos-spreads-to-Spain.html

Excerpt:

Yesterday David Cameron, the Conservative leader, suggested Britain could follow Greece into crisis. “Greece stands as a warning to what happens if you don’t pay back your debt,” he said.

David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, accused Mr Cameron of “economic illiteracy”. Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, insisted that Britain was in a “very, very, very different situation” from Greece, because the UK retained its AAA rating.

But Neil Mackinnon, an economist from VTB Capital, said it was “a mystery” that Britain had not yet been downgraded.

Angel Gurria, the head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, said “contagion has already happened”, likening the crisis to the flesh-eating bug Ebola.
