Gold is ridiculous as a measure of wealth. It is one item and rather useless. Unless you go to actual gold coins it does nothing as a basis for a nations currency because politicians lie. Governments have confiscated gold before and likely will ...

How an Aging Population Will Completely Upend the Finance Industry

Brexit does not benefit them. The status quo does so delay, studies, committees, reviews, and rereviews are tactics to expect. Eventually they will maneuver themselves into positions where they benefit from the changes made by implementing Brexit ...

Brexit could be delayed to late-2019 as government not ready: Sunday Times

Brexit could be delayed to late-2019 as government not ready: Sunday Times

Very interesting. This type of info is why history is important and why I love it. If we knew a tenth of what we have forgotten we would not be so susceptible to carnival barkers like barkie. If you want a constitution might I recommend you adopt ...

How a Hairdresser’s Lawsuit Could Spell Trouble for Brexit

Yes, that is the point I was going to make. The elites do not get to choose when votes count. Re the need for 124 new agreements stop whining and get started once the exit is officially declared. It's not that hard since the frameworks are in place. ...

How a Hairdresser’s Lawsuit Could Spell Trouble for Brexit

At least you quoted and presumably read my entire comment. The selected line says it all about a 1400 year history. Noting the truth is not being prejudiced. From the Brexit news here that is what focused the vote.

How a Hairdresser’s Lawsuit Could Spell Trouble for Brexit

I can hear the gnashing of teeth all the way over here. It was not all that long ago lil ol' England ruled the world but sadly now, having gone socialist, the expectation is incapability to perform the basic functions of government. But wait, isn't ...

Is your bewilderment real of phony? With just a bit of imagination Brexit makes the British government more concerned with British people instead of the globalist agenda. Less immigration by enemies, more jobs, more self sufficiency, less pounds ...

How a Hairdresser’s Lawsuit Could Spell Trouble for Brexit

Yes Cliff, like the breakup of the USSR. Or like the French Revolution - hopefully w/o Dr. Guillotine's invention. Rioting or violent revolution is not a good result but becomes necessary when suppression exceeds rational tolerance. People are ...

Was the Bank of England right to cut interest rates?

The cattle futures were just a minor blip in the lifelong list of her corruption. You might as well vote for Al Capone. Unsecured server with classified emails sent. No comparison between the two candidates. Hillary is more corrupt and less ...

Buffett puts money on monkey to outperform Trump as an investor

That's true NewtonsCash. Raising rates would increase the burden of that debt furthering the spiral but there is no reason to link government debt to banking per se. The central banks can buy the national debt at 0.0% interest while raising the ...

UK PMI falls to lowest level since early 2013 at start of third quarter

Agree with guest above that interest rates are to low. IMO that is everywhere. Lowering them or going negative is ridiculous. Raising them slowly would not really dampen major purchases. More likely to spur them as people buy to beat further ...

UK House price growth steady in July

Clicked on this first but is there not another story saying UK housing prices increased another 0.5% this month and 5.22% for the year? A 5 to 6 % inflation rate is fast enough. Right now people are likely holding off major purchases but the need ...
