And also the -- for the UK are breaking news has two pieces about lists the first one. About the effects on. -- stunning we've seen a pullback of course a little bit. What does that do for GDP the other -- is a political piece. And I mosques or whether Cameron deserves some sympathy. Now on the back of this -- had us joins me now what are we kick off without actually Edward. -- you view and Crist wrote this piece on -- today. I'm why you why would he deserve sympathy army it it was it was it was -- and all of -- crazy put Netflix and am owls when they. When they basically. Yes they claim that this it's defending the triple -- rating was number one and -- and you know for them. And that if they lost AAA rating god knows what would happen to the United Kingdom. The queen might be sold for ransom or something. And and of course they haven't managed growth has been disappointing we slow deficit -- disappointing Lehigh. And Moody's is the first of the agencies to recognize that when official downgrade the markets have been expecting this pretty much it's not quite since pounced on.
