1. 'Economy' becomes trendy a
At last!
Its official, folks The Economy is now the biggest issue on the worlds agenda.
According to an article written for the telegraph,
The economy has eclipsed crime, immigration and the NHS as the biggest single concern for the public as the credit crunch continues to reverberate around the world.
Last summer, just 2 per cent of adults believed the economy was the most important topic facing the UK.
But this has soared, with whopping 24 per cent now saying it is the biggest problem facing the prime minister.
Should we be overly concerned?
It turns out, we're not alone.
(How reassuring!)
According to a recent Gallop pole, the word 'economy' now takes precedence over environment' in the USA.
The pole found that - for the first time in 25 years - the Economy is now the highest regarded topic on the agenda.
Compared to 1984, at which time over 60% chose the environmental, Economy is the new buzzword.
Is that a progress of human evolution?
Or are we going backwards as a race?
Let's whizz back to 1984 and take a look at other events that happened that year.
The biggest story could well have been:
'Michael Jackson burned in Pepsi ad'
'Michael Jackson has received hospital treatment for serious burns to his head after his hair caught light during a freak filming accident.
The 25-year-old entertainer was singing his hit "Billie Jean" for a Pepsi Cola commercial in Los Angeles when the special effects went wrong. '
Three thousand fans saw a firework display erupt behind the superstar, showering him in sparks and setting light to his hair.
Some studio audience members thought the incident was part of the act.
A witness was known to have said: "He was wonderful."
Well, we don't listen to Michael Jackson for starters.
Why the hell would we?
We have iPhones!
The Internet!
Family guy!
And er... the biggest financial crisis since the great depression!
