and tremendous risk to the uk. it has made the uk economy it very risky sector. would people want to go back to the old-fashioned days when there were a few sleepy stockbrokers collecting fees from duchesses to trade their shares and a few merchant banks having long lunches and not much else? i do not think people would want to go back to that. what she shook up was not really worth saving. within that there were specific things. ing thense, the buccaneer an finance and the stable side of finance. in a sense she removed the barrier and let them do it all. that has been tremendously volatile. we saw that in 2008. as with so many things about margaret thatcher, would people really want to go back to what came before them? i do not think they would. host: battle creek, michigan. caller: i was wondering if the same thing has happened in britain that has happened in the united states. , and "reagan, thatcher deregulation" -- at this point, we are suffering from deindustrialization. a few good paying manufacturing jobs f

we just had a good figure out of the uk. services pmi are coming in at 52.4, 51.5 was the consensus. >> and look at this. britain's equity market is down and the rest of the europe -- >> the ftse 100 is not indicative of the british economy, actually. >> interesting that an interesting statement, as well. but it's not. but the key thing is it means you can probably avoid a recession. >> a third one this time around. for another quarter, anyway. should we look at the bond space? >> yes. >> there's been a lot of focus on the fact that spain and italy haven't been worse. across the board, we're seeing yields come down. a strange thing to see both spain and italy rallied on a day when the bund yield is dropping to 1.28. the gilt yield, 1.75%. shrugging off that stronger data. >> if you bought gilt on the downgrade, you've done extremely well. >> i think that's the case for all developed nations. in fact, you should start buying -- >> that's the buying strategy. wait for the downgrade and pile in. >> forex, should we do that? did

the uk is also tough. very high prices in the uk, and increasing realistic trade in the uk.four cigarette smoked in the uk is now the product. which is now not good news for our legal market, but clearly not good news for the government revenues, either. so we have to keep working on that, working on our portfolio, working on the fine cut, as well, for the consumer. are you seeing people smoking it less or is it just that they've moved to lower price products? that's a great question because actually we don't see people smoking much less at all. conassumption is very resilient. maybe 11%, maybe 2% in some markets. but actually, it's consumers making a choice around what they're smoking. that's one reason for the trade across europe, as well. >> can you give us any sense of when you see a demand pick up finally in the -- >> i think if i had a crystal ball on the environment, i think i could get a lot moeven doing something else, entirely. the eu environment, we continue to see it being tough for at least another year, 18 months, i would say. i think important in this environm

not really new to have a micro pig, but in the uk it's seeing a resurgence of late. these videos are from pet piggies, they have lots of videos and pictures and lots of indwyerry rquir inquiries. these pictures give you a real good look at how big this pig is. next to a starbucks mug here. you can see wiglet with wiglet's mom to get an idea of how big of a pig it comes from. >> that's not so micro any more. are you telling me wiglet is going to get that big? >> i don't believe wiglet is going to get that big, but that's how big mommy is. >> micro pig becomes macro pig. >> he's spotted. >> look at him! >>> dog girlfriend, cat girlfriend. see how it works. >> she's got the dog thing down. >> which is it? cat or dog? next "right this minute." >>> and still to come -- pretty lady at the park. pretty ring in the sky. >> you've heard about like drone warfare. this is drone romance. >> i'm glad that ring is trapped down. >> find out what happens when she gets the special delivery. >>> and, dude hops on a really tall bike. you can see people around him look like ants down be

this is on the streets of birmingham in the uk. and you see a ton of cars here with ra ta ton of spectators. this person with the arm start to get the race started is this little person here. >> is that a child? >> that is, in fact, a child that is placed in front of these cars that are about to go more than 100 miles an hour to start the race. in this video, you see an adult holding the child, showing the child how to start the race. and then walked away and let's the kid do it alone. >> that's a dangerous place for anybody to be, let alone a young child. i would call that child endangerment the. >> and that is why the police department started an operation last year to crack down on these races. and in this other part of the video, we see one car running to another car that's right in front of it. it's showing out out of control things can get so quickly. because of this footage captured on hidden cameras as part of this ragz, about 250 of these drivers were taken to court. they were fined sometimes as much as $3,000. and they be

. -- prime minister of the uk. am considered a conservative in the uk, but it makes mooy a liberal in the us -- makes me a liberal in the u.s. we have different systems. >> it is like driving on the wrong side of the road. >> something like that. >> it is exactly the same thing. >> gavin, you think the brits don't like freedom and we saw that. there were tweets saying she took away my milk. thought that was interesting. you can maybe help me with this. all of the punk bands that came about in no small part because of the ride of thatcherrism and opposed thatcherrism talked about freedom and how much they loved freedom. >> dude, it drives me insane. i got an e-mail from a guy today talking about pissing on her grave. there was that song. ♪ no margaret thatcher ♪ no government if she heard that she would say, yes, i agree. she was less government than any other prime minister. she was the most an,ist -- anarchist they have had and her attitude of laughing at people who made fun of her. she was punk rock. >> there is

but can the uk go on a major fiscal stimulus exercise? we don't really think there's much room for maneuver in terms of them to do that in terms of a ratings perspective. >> what happens if they -- they could go on a big tax cutting program and that got rates going. this is more about growth, isn't it, right now, because growth is a way to generate the revenue to bring down the deficit. >> yeah. but that's evident that if you do tax cuts, that you'll get more revenue isn't very strong, to be frank. otherwise, lots of governments would be doing that because it's a win-win situation. you're cutting tax rates and voters like that and you're getting more money through the door. i think the other aspect to bear in mind is that they have taken a decision between the balance in spending cuts and tax. and, actually, the government has been effectively reducing some tax rates, both at the higher end and in terms of raising taxable allowances. spending, like national health spend, you have some stringent cuts elsewhere. that's the choice for the go

though over here in america, she would be i think admired probably both sides of the divide, in the uk, there are people in my party and people in the trade union movement who absolutely detested margaret thatcher and who always say to me how can you say she also did great things. but if you're trying to set all that vitriol aside and be objective about it, the fact is she was a very, very considerable political figure. and some of the things, look, some of the things she did, i disagreed with, over europe, for example, but on other things like how british industry became more competitive and privatizing the state industries and putting trade unions within a proper legal framework, those things are with us still today. i think they wouldn't be there today if they hadn't in the end achieved a certain stability and consensus in british politics. so quite apart from the fact she was britain's first woman prime minister, she's a big figure and i think if people reflect for a little bit and don't get too partisan about it, even from my side of politics they've got to say this was a big hist

our apparel platform just started shipping to the uk and canada.e've actually found that the feedback has been fantastic because these are markets that don't get that kind of a shopping club experience like we're accustomed to in the united states. >> what do you do? what if there's a problem, they're in the uk and you're here? do you expand did you to help them? >> chat has always been a big part of it. it is a good way to keep the consistent level of service. but shipping times are longer. i think that what offsets that is that there's -- less saturated market. >> got it. okay. maybe honesty. shipping times are longer. as long as people expect it they expect it. okay. now to a question about the value of a likes on social media. >> we spend a lot of money on building our community. outsource to new york to a company that does this for us. how does it translate to market value? >> this is an interesting question. i was speaking to a company that had hundreds of thousands of lights but it wasn't doing anything with them and didn't know what to do w

so i think we're in that little bit of limbo for uk markets and uk markets generally following the global trends. >> which is interesting because how vulnerable is sterling here in particular? there's a lot of concern about britain's exposure to commodities, for example, which had been hit hard. but sterling has held up well today and again it's roughly flat, 1.52, even. it's not necessarily consistent with what we've seen going out across the commodities complex. >> i think the early sell-off in sterling has been completed now. we're in a sell-off phase more generally. i think that the current phase is more likely to see some general risky assets hurt and that's more likely to hurt the euro rather than sterling. and the euro can backtrack somewhat further against the yen. we can see a move to 1.2360 on the euro/yen. sterling, a little bit out of the spotlight in this environment. >> and also it goes back to what is the macro picture for britain. how strong is the economy relative to the eurozone? and when we get data like this, it makes things sticky, certainly not going to spell relief

and as you say, the uk actually really done a lot of cutting. they cut a lot of investment spending. they cut the wrong -- and exactly. and even though it hasn't been that austerity, there has been a net shift towards -- >> yeah. cut growth drivers in the future instead of spending that day. >> yeah. on that note, as you said, sending your thoughts on the program, who is at fault here? who is right? what side of the department are you on? does it depend on the circumstances? you can e-mail us, worldwide@cnbc.com or tweet us. let's check in on markets now. ross. >> thanks for that. 8-2, 7-2 even decliners outpacing advancers. it comes after a pretty good five-day rally. cnbc stocks 300 down in the past five days. the ftse mib off 0.7%, ibex down 0.9%. put into context what we've seen in the last five sessions. we want to take a look at some ft of the other asset prices, as well. 4.12% for italian mib. we got down to 3 the 3.92% on tuesday. gdp, we were up to 1.56% on the year. on the currency market, we saw cable at 1.54. we are still there holdi

but uk didn't. but of course, if you mention continental europe, not uk. if you look at weird situation in -- it's fine to criticize david cameron but if you look at the real situation of the party, and he has to be careful. i think -- my answer is always quite easy. the more weed and -- we succeed in our common european -- the uk will join, the more difficult it will be a little bit -- suffer a major discussion into society, you can follow it again and again because it's -- even history has changed. and france and uk had to learn in a much more difficult way to change the history after world war 2. the germans had nothing to learn. we were -- at it totally different. i pay respect to france and uk, and -- but nevertheless we -- if you look the role of poland, for example, the role of the new member state inside europe, it's a weird success story. don't underestimate. of course you can see in member states some heritage fromormer times. in hungary as well as czech republic or slovakia. but if you look at what hat been achieved in separating czechoslovakia

"they use paprika for coloring in the uk." vani hari, a food blogger who wants kraft to stop using artificial yellow food dyes, gave out samples of kraft mac and cheese - british versions without the dyes - and the brightly-colored american original. the point: americans don't prefer mac and cheese because its a vivid yellowish- orange. "it tastes exactly the same." "i don't really like mac 'n' cheese, but i like this one." yellow food dye #5 and #6 have been banned in some european countries and are being phased out in others. public health organizations say food dyes pose a rainbow of risks - among them, hyperactivity in children. but the food and drug administration approved these dyes, and kraft still uses them in products for the u.s.
