- ekan commented Jun 1, 2019
I am surprised that you supposedly read the article but did not see it because it is right there: "China's money has Mao's picture on it. Nobody globally (including in Hong Kong) wants to have their wealth denominated in that sort of money. ...

Yeah, I missed that. I was riding a couple of airplanes from Asia back to Europe, for the record. Now I read the original story, so I can reply. The ECB is described as independent. Nowhere did I read it being called "apolitical" in official ...
Brexit Update: Game over?

Please excuse the short reply, I have a intercontinental flight to catch later today. Hence I only want to address one part of it, which I think capture the essence quite well. This one: "Britain's Brexit paralysis served as a "vaccine" against the ...
Brexit Update: Game over?
- ekan commented May 29, 2019
Your response is very clear - you do not have any specific instances to prove just one of your point. It is just run on rants. Bruxelles accepted your referendum. Every EU official says so - adding they are fully prepared to discuss future relations ...

Brexit Update: Game over?
- ekan commented May 29, 2019
Last week's EU elections changed not much. The eurosceptics failed to score major gains. To me that means their growth potential is largely spent. Moreover, currently the continental eurosceptics appear to exhibit considerably less enthusiasm for EU ...

What a pile of drivel! "While the world's second-largest economy occasionally sells US Treasurys to replenish its reserves or support its currency, the yuan, those don't appear to be the reasons for the latest dumping." It doesn't appear? Based on? ...
China might have just tested its 'nuclear option' in the trade war

Because the treaty text written by the Scottish peer Lord Kerr does not allow such option. The ball is 100% in the leaving state's court! Hence we must allow this farce of EU elections in UK that took place today. I have no idea what you ...
Theresa May clings to power as Brexit gambit backfires

Oh, europhobe dreams... The Aachen treaty from 2019 was signed to prevent things like that. As long as France and Germany hold together, the euro will live on. Deutsche Mark and Frank look like a good couple of non-(re)starters. We can't wait to get ...

Just to put things in perspective, latest polls puts farage at 35% and lab +ldp at 35% also. It would be safe to assume that all brexiteers supporting labour voters have already defected to farage. UK has 73 seats out of 759. Farage can get 23 to 25 ...
