The FT. report that Hollande is apparently is about to visit China and the signals are that the red carpet will be rolled out. Britain on the otherhand is viewed by China as a pariah state since Cameron met with the Dalai Lama last year. How typically British that irrespective of the economic consequences Britain should put human rights ahead of international trade.

UKIP may have been considered extreme in pre crisis 2007, but now it may reflect the mainstream.

[highland terrier] 24/4/2013 19:52

Much as i dislike Salmond i dislike his fishy mate even more.

[highland terrier] 24/4/2013 18:44

shaws,your spot on there,he wants independence so he can get Scotland to join the EU and he can go to the meetings with the big boys.

Is anyone else's page not working correctly since this afternoon.

What i mean is, if i type in an epic code in the epic box, them press "epic" using the mouse or pressing enter on the keyboard, nothing happens ?

[shaws37] 24/4/2013 18:36

HT, I only know one person who might vote independence, that's Salmond himself ;)

I'm not taking such a crude bait..

Where jazza lives it will be a Yorkie with Arthur Scargill's head on it.

[highland terrier] 24/4/2013 18:31

jazza,

We shall indeed issue our own currency and it shall be known as the EURO.

Wednesday night humour....

Then tomorrow we have the Q1 GDP report at 9.30am.

Irrespective of which side of the line it falls, it is hardly going to be encouraging. No doubt we will hear a lot about the weather and the importance of sticking to plan A.

add:

It was -0.3% last time, tomorrow the forecast is for +0.1%.

You see it is that kind of narrow minded view full of
bias to self interest that belies the self interest of the
utterer...perhaps when heating is required in his home
he may be alerted to the wider strategic aims....;

[ramco] 24/4/2013 16:58

Leeds, not a good feeling must admit to feeling the
same and especially when those culprits are in full flow...
however also minded of the interest and many interesting
contributions from many which makes it worthwhile...;

Ouch!

Russian financial crisis anyone?

I'm thinking that destabilising the US$ would only bring forward that day.


So who thinks Putin has a deathwish?

:p

[leedskier] 24/4/2013 16:45

$140 I think.

[jazza] 24/4/2013 16:43

Any idea what price Putin needs for his oil in order to balance Russia's books?

HINT: It's north of here..


EDIT: 35%? Small compared to Italy, for example..

"AN independent Scotland will launch its own currency that sounds like something out of a Robert Burns poem."

[leedskier] 24/4/2013 16:41

Does that number include the off book black economy?

[speedy] 24/4/2013 16:41

If you wish to consider the implications of gold for China and Russia, I'd suggest Jim Rickard's book "Currency Wars" (and the US military already wargames the outcome.)

For more immediate interest, consider the queues for gold in Japan, and gold's
recent all-time high in Yen.

[jazza] 24/4/2013 16:27

I already know Russia's GDP :p

$1.86tn as of 2011 - so it'll be behind US, China, India, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Brazil..


Their demographics stink also, a fading force..

[leedskier] 24/4/2013 16:24

I am not here to answer your questions jazza ... look it up yourself, if that is now your case!
