TheCountOfNowhere Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Running large current and budget deficits risks a credit crunch too. The biggest risk to the UK is the UK bankers and politicians The problem, it seems to me, is that the country is being run by the government and the bankers for the benefit of the banking industry. With the vast sums of money involved and their VI property dealings this will not end until it collapses now. I've opened up my foreign exchange account now and i';m going to move a couple of 100K into it. Would rather loose short term than get 0.15% interest . Too much risk in the UK now. It's got crazy.

Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The VI's would rather let the currency go as it keeps the statusquo - the poor remain poor and become poorer, whilst the rich remain in a relative position of power and wealth. History tells us that the pound is not a good store of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interestrateripoff Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Has any fiat currency acted as a store of value in the long term? Apart from as collector items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluteroop Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I said the other week to a friend that even if I thought I'd made my mind up already, that I'd wait to see what was going to be worst for the Bank of England, and vote for that. Still #Brexit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybong Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 But the BoE just said a few days ago that it has no opinion on the referendum - it's impartial. So if that's the case they must be about to emphasise the benefits of a credit crunch to the UK as a whole. Otherwise they'd just come across as a bunch of self serving crooks - and nobody would believe they're that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybong Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) The former chancellor Alistair Darling said: “This assessment makes it clear our economy would be more vulnerable and less resilient if we vote to leave the EU – leading to higher mortgage rates for families and higher interest rates for Britain’s businesses. It is a serious piece of work that should make everyone think twice about irresponsibly gambling with people’s jobs and livelihoods.” The former chancellor Alistair Darling said: “This assessment makes it clear our economy would be more vulnerable and less resilient if we vote to leave the EU – leading to higher mortgage rates for families and higher interest rates for Britain’s businesses.

billybong Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Not that (NuLabour) Darling has ever been biased in favour of banks or anything like that with a cushy banking job after his stint in Parliament.. With him and his lot in favour of the eu then it looks like it's got to be a vote for Brexit. Edited March 30, 2016 by billybong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dances with sheeple Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Will the young (without any chance of a decent job) and the older generations (no mortgage) who see their children/grandchildren unable to get a decent job (which they blame on the number of workers flooding into the country) swing the vote for an exit? Even if we don`t leave this time IMO the EZ is going to break up anyway, our "Stay" politicians will just look doubly stupid when that happens, and the financial fallout will probably be even worse. Lot`s of people I talk to now are grumbling about how their lives are being affected by waiting times for essential services (GP and Maternity are two I heard moans about recently) and they definitely pin this problem on "The numbers now coming here" although they don`t tend to discuss it until they feel the other person is sympathetic, for fear of being branded "Wacist!" or "MigrantPhobic" or some other shite. I think on polling day there are going to be sizeable numbers going in to vote thinking "Enough is enough, let`s get out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU death warrant was written the second Merkel open her gob and the doors into Germany (and the rest of europe). This influx will change everything.

If you can't name the 24 people who run the show (and self-select each other) there why is it a good idea to trust them with our children's futures please? Or I take it you think national governments who the national populations elect in their "democracies" all sit and cuddle and make decisions together in a big circle holding hands listening to Lennon's "Imagine"? Newsflash: any meps are only there to rubber stamp orders from above - from the unelected, irremovable 24 and the ECB.

campervanman Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What I do know is that MEP's are elected more democratically than MP's and that other EU countries bother to turn out and vote in EU parliamentary elections. Just because the average brainwashed anti EU Brit cant be bothered doesn't make the EU parliament or the decision making process of the EU undemocratic. Btw it's 28 not 24.
