~Figures show a dramatic illustration of changing global fortunes ~China, Japan, Germany, France and the U.S. occupy the top five places ~Brazil fast-becoming one of the powerhouses of the global economy
Britain has been deposed by Brazil as the sixth largest economy in the world, latest figures show. In a dramatic illustration of changing global economic fortunes, the UK has fallen behind a South American nation for the first time. The figures, from the Centre for Economic and Business Research’s annual world economic league table, show Britain is now the seventh richest country in the world.
The U.S., China, Japan, Germany and France occupy the top five places. More often associated with football and dirt-poor shanty towns known as favelas, Brazil is fast becoming one of the powerhouses of the global economy. The largest country in Latin America, its economy has surged because of vast reserves of natural resources and a rapidly growing, and cash-rich, middle class.

We'll be out of the top ten soon enough, infact I'm surprised India hasn't got a bigger economy (is this being based on GDP, or something else?) thanks to the economic incompetence of most Westminster politicians (Vince Cable is an exception) and the Antimatter of growth that is the Conservative Party.
But that doesn't matter, BECAUSE NOW CAMERON HAS DECLARED BRITAIN A CHRISTIAN STATE AND WANTS THE ARCHBISHOP TO WRITE A CODE FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE BY SO NOW GOD IS GUNNA GIVE US MONEY TO WAGE WAR WITH TEH GERMANS! |

China is definetly past Japan. Obvi. I think China will go farther than ours in the near future. But what I don't like is their communist gov. It's a disgrace to see. But it's also useful for their population control. |

At least the Chinese education system teaches you that new sentence doesn't equal a new line. |
