The graphic on the left shows the current UK government debt. That is of course terrible and it's getting uncontrollably worse by the second, as you can see.
Click the link in bottom right hand corner of the graphic to visit the website giving a deeper understanding of the problem, and an opportunity to write to your MP about it. Apart from that, this page hosts images and links to other sites where significant published data (mostly so far about economics) can be seen |

| Immigration effect |
UK immigrants who arrived since 2000 are less likely to receive benefits, and less likely to live in social housing than UK natives, according to a UCL study. Professor Christian Dustmann of University College London, and Sir Andrew Greene, chairman of MigrationWatch, evaluate the findings.

| Decline of the West | Jon Moynihan |
PA Consulting Group Chairman Jon Moynihan speaks at the London School of Economics, spelling out the economic difficulties imminent for western economies, the root causes, what we ought to do about it and (regretfully) why we probably won't.
Be prepared to swallow some nasty medicine, and (hopefully) think about voting for action to reverse the trends that Jon identifies.
I suggest you toggle to the full screen version as soon as the video begins. Note that you can pause the video to examine the slides in detail.
