FYI:
The UK Prime Minister is enjoying his third holiday in just four months, irrespective of the pledge he had made that his government would relentlessly work for Britain.
David Cameron's luxurious holiday in a palatial, £10,000-a-week villa in Tuscany, Italy, comes at the same time when his deputy Nick Clegg, and George Osborne, the Chancellor, are also having fun on separate holidays.
The United Kingdom's affairs are left to Foreign Secretary William Hague, who has been forced to stay and take charge of the country at a time when other British leaders are sunning themselves on holidays.
While Britons expect their leaders to take control of the deteriorating situation, and to draw appropriate strategies to move forward and out of the current crisis, their leaders consider the people's legitimate expectations as impediments to their lavish holidays.
The stock markets nearly collapsed last Friday as the prevalent feeling overcame London Stock Exchange that nobody was really in charge of the affairs.
Figures show new car sales have plunged for the 13th months in a row in the country, and more than thirty thousand people have been declared bankrupt in the three months to July. Furthermore, the collapse of department store TJ Hughes has caused ten thousand more workers to join the sea of jobless.
According to the reports, almost 100 big companies across the UK have lost at least fifty billion pounds in terms of value, which amounted to a total of one hundred twenty five billion pounds loss in the stock markets over the past seven days.
The opposition Labour Party has achieved a valuable pretext to launch an all-out attack on the leaders of the coalition.
Labour's shadow chief secretary to the Treasury Angela Eagle has accused the coalition government of complacency.
Eagle has said that “it is fairly extraordinary that the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Chancellor have all contrived to go away at the same time, just when there happens to be this turmoil in the international markets”.
Meanwhile, some political figures believe there was a gaping hole at the international markets where British leadership should have had a strong presence. But, they say, the UK government was absent from the global economic debate at this critical time.
