HISTÓRICO: Agora Reino Unido é rebaixado da nota máxima AAA.
É a 1^a vez em toda a sua história. 
Londres é o maior centro financeiro do planeta.
Mega crise mostra força e já pega peixe grande.
Espera-se um devastador efeito cascata.
For the first time in the UK's history, the governments credit rating has been cut from AAA, to AA1 by ratings agency Moodys. Credit ratings agency Moody's Investors Service downgraded Britain's government bond rating one notch from the top AAA to AA1 Friday, citing weaknesses in the economy's medium-term outlook. Moody's said "subdued" growth prospects and a "high and rising debt burden" were weighing on the British economy. The agency said rising debt meant "a deterioration in the shock-absorption capacity of the government's balance sheet, which is unlikely to reverse before 2016."

E é só o começo, vai piorar ainda mais nos próximos anos.
Jack Rasmus, Professor of Political Economy at the Santa Clara University in the US, believes the downgrade was inevitable. “The trend in the UK is clearly towards less and less growth and it’s resulting in faltering the tax revenues and that means that debt and deficit is going to get worse.” The deficit will rise, he predicts because the cost of borrowing will go up given the downgrade. “This is just the beginning of the continued slowing in the UK economy.”
