Is there a similar site covering the UK and or western europe ?

[lleims]

These are the sites I tend to read:

France: http://www.rudebaguette.com/

Germany: http://venturevillage.eu/ and http://siliconallee.com/

Eastern Europe: http://goaleurope.com/

Europe in general: http://blogs.wsj.com/tech-europe/ + http://thenextweb.com/eu/ + http://gigaom.com/europe/

My guess is that sooner or later there will be some publication, in English, covering startups in southern Europe (Italy, Spain, etc).
