Richard, I'm a fan of oneworld.net for development stuff or just an angle on
business matters that doesn't usually get a viewing in the British press. It
seems fairly lefty on the surface but dig a little and it contains diverse
sources. The Bank of England site is also good for macroeconomics. Could be
a bit stodgy though - is that what the 'dessert' bit means? Sorry, it's late
in the term.
