The UK has had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody's, based on its expectation that growth will "remain sluggish over the next few years".

The ratings agency became the first to lower the UK from its highest rating, to Aa1.

Moody's said that the government's debt reduction programme faced significant "challenges" ahead.

Chancellor George Osborne said the decision was "a stark reminder of just how useless I am""

Osborne is merely one of the Three Stupid Monkeys.

They will simply impose more taxes on the poor and remove more benefits from the disabled while giving bonuses to the super rich.

Well that's all the tories have done so far and they swear it works.

The Fitch credit ratings agency has downgraded the UK to AA+ owing to a weakened economic outlook.

The move, after Moody's downgrade in February, came as Chancellor George Osborne defended the government's austerity plan.

Fitch said its downgrade primarily reflected a weaker economic and fiscal outlook.

But carry on regardless, after all what does Moody's, Fitch and the IMF know?

Are these the SAME ratings agencies who told us US subprime debt was AAA+ rated ?

If so, I would suggest their ratings are as valid as Psychic Sallys.
