I haven't seen the film yet, but I was speaking to someone who recently saw I.O.U.S.A., and apparently they discuss how the U.K. is in just as much economic turmoil as the U.S. Is this the evidence we're looking for?
It's hard to get a proper picture when you consider media bias in terms of coverage—U.S. vs. U.K. The U.S., of course, gets more attention for various reasons, including both economics and politics.
I should watch that film already. I've been wanting to see it since I saw the preview trailer.
