Al, probably got something to do with the distance. UK to Europe is 18 miles. Aus/US is thousands. Plus, we're still in the EU!

Junker, more like 'old soak'. Buy him a triple brandy and he's all yours...

Half of Germans against debt relief for Greece, survey shows

Cliff, he said it's doomed and it is. He said it wasn't setup correctly, and it wasn't. Personally, I think a single currency for Europe is a great idea. But it was setup and designed by a load of dopey politicians with their own individual agendas ...

Source Check: Bernard Connolly is a British economist noted for his CORRECT analysis of the euro... As for English commenting and no Germans or Greeks, this is a message board I would think made up of primarily English speakers. It's not a debate in ...

Half of Germans against debt relief for Greece, survey shows

Germans, don't take it from me, take it from THE expert economist on Euro Matters, Bernard Connolly (also Lady Thatcher's favourite economist, and the Great Lady didn't like economists). You only have 2 choices - 1. Bail out Southern Europe FOREVER, ...

Expect far more media hit jobs on Le Pen. She's very dangerous to their paymasters so will be attacked without mercy. Tax evasion, affairs/sex, racism and all the rest they'll try to pin on her. You watch, their playbook is always the same...

End of the euro? French candidate plots return of the franc

Probably talking about how they can control something that cannot really be controlled, ie the economy. If it could be controlled why are interest rates still at emergency levels and can't be raised? Human folly and arrogance at its best. The ...

Bank of England Inflation Report Hearings

Can you stop advertising on the net though? Are regulators behind the curve on this? Can you put the Genie back in the bottle once it's been released? Anything bad can be banned in a country, but how can you ban anything online?

The Netherlands seek to ban advertising in binary options, CFDs

Goldman's probably offering him a too good to miss deal. Just like Barroso who used to be a communist/Proletariat party member. Now deputy Chairman of Goldman's. Of course the 'ethics' committee at the EU found zero problems with the appointment. ...

EU Commission denies Juncker ready to resign

There are solutions, there always are and there are some very clever people around that will be able to come up with said solutions. BUT, any solutions will probably be hard and result in short term pain lasting several years before long term gain. ...

Driverless trucks: economic tsunami may swallow one of most common US jobs

Agree Slip. Which is why the mass importation of refugees into Europe makes no sense at all. Most of them can't speak the native language of the countries they go to. Many are semi-illiterate, no real education (not their fault). Getting a job for ...

Driverless trucks: economic tsunami may swallow one of most common US jobs

Tsunami is the right word, trucks, taxis, everything going robot. Every month the software/hardware gets better. Every year it gets cheaper. Insurance isn't going to be a problem. The big manufactures will self-insure. What's interesting is the risk ...

Driverless trucks: economic tsunami may swallow one of most common US jobs

Exodus explains why they can't raise rates. Sure, they can do 0.25 here and there but the amount of debt worldwide, govt/corp/personal means it can't be serviced if rates go back as Ex says to even half way back to normal. Central Banks are ...

Inflation is really booming on this one chart

From my basic knowledge of economics don't you cure inflation by raising rates? Yet they can't raise rates can they? So if inflation does start to rise even more the Central Banks are going to end up deep in that hole they've dug for themselves.

Why wouldn't any sane person want cordial relations with most countries, including Russia? What has Russia done to us in the West to make many of us (not I) want to make a real enemy of them? People might say Ukraine or the Crimea? I'd bet 80% of ...

This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in...

A) They have it in for the Great Man, but B) He's a tough fighter, you can't navigate the cut throat world of NY real estate without being so. So it's going to be a fascinating fight over the coming years.
