The FT has produced this little set of charts illustrating how government spending in the United Kingdom is nearing 50% of GDP. In fact, the National Health Service now ranks behind only Wall-Mart and the People's Liberation Army of China for largest employer in the world. Wow.
Note that every bar on the first graph has been moving in the same direction since 2002-03. (Scroll left/right for more graphs).
