Brussels are interested in London and Germany interested in exporting to uk market.....Yes, "they do love us" I am sure... lol

Careful I advice you to watch the documentary "UK gold" "Greed is good" that's why the city ofLondon will always will be the capital of financial world. UK just alone is losing more than 22 billions on taxes something which Brussels would love to control and blackmail the big boys.

London will survive as the World's leading financial centre without the likes of JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, they've been belly aching ever since the referendum result. Check out GS involvement in helping Greece join the EU club.

It is not only the transfer of those funds but the management of them. Where will these teams be based?

[careful] 24/9/2020 14:20

J.P.Morgan has transferred £250bn to Europe in case of a no deal Brexit.
Announced today.

Oh dear, if we gradually lose the scale of London as a finance centre we really will be much poorer.

As long as we have our leadership from Eton/Oxbridge or equivalent the we shall all be happy to be poor.
We know our place, great to have our social superiors in charge.

'Close to 100% accuracy': Helsinki airport uses sniffer dogs to detect Covid

Researchers running Helsinki pilot scheme say dogs can identify virus in seconds

There is a vote on the renewal of the Coronavirus Act on 30 September. We should all demand that our MPs vote against it. The Act's sweeping powers were given when Parliament was about to go into recess and there was realistic concern that NHS care capacity might be overwhelmed by Covid-19, but no such justification now exists.

Swann24 Sep 2020 12:23PMWhat is the strategy - Zero covidWait for a vaccine or Weather the stormNeither of the top 2 is practical inside 12 months, Zero covid is trying to keep a secret 20million people know, and a vaccine could take years or might be impossible.If we are weathering the storm then we should not be locking down yet.  We should only lock down to match NHS resources.At the moment the NHS actually has 30,000 beds spare and 1500 in use for Covid.  So we shouldn't lock down yet - wait till we get to around that 50,000 daily infections number, more significantly 2000 a day admitted to hospital.  (Compared with 100-200 at the moment)That way it could all be over by Christmas, bar a bit of shouting.  Yes, people will die from Covid, but they will be the ones that will die from Covid when they catch it, regardless of whether they catch it next week or next year.  I might well be one of them, but I also recognise death by a 1000 cuts is not a better alternative.

Richard Austin24 Sep 2020 1:20PMWe were told 3 weeks. Nearly 7 months later we are told 6 months. What happens then? What happens in 5 years? 10 years? When are this absurd Government and the Religion of The Faceless going to face the fact there is only one way and we did it for perhaps thousands, certainly hundreds, of years.

Wearing masks, washing our hands, all those things are barriers to transmissibility, or contagion, but as the virus becomes more contagious it statistically is better at getting around those barriers," said Mr Morens, senior adviser to Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID.As a rule, the more genetic diversity a virus has the more prepared it is to evolve away from future treatments and vaccines. ... Daily Telegraph..Or get OCD with hand washing and adjusting mask every 5 mins.

lef - I do not share your conspiracy theory.

As a separate subject, I have believed for a while that there is a serious financial crisis around the corner. If true, the cold questions are:
- how will it impact global economies?
- how will it impact me?
- how can you (me) profit from it if you are so inclined?

There is not enough space here to answer these questions.
Some thoughts - for every financial transaction there is a giver and a receiver, so the money flow from the printing presses needs to be followed to its conclusion. Where has the money ended up? There is a huge amount of money flowing under the table - IMO there is no appetite to identify, clean and tax this money as these guys hold the real power.
On a personal basis expect to become poorer but have ring fenced to a large extent by coming out of GBP. (Current position on GBP which remains is 'trading').
No big ideas on the last question. Too early IMO and often the most difficult position is to do nothing. I am not a short term day trader.

As an aside the 'battle' around cryptos could be interesting as if they are brought inhouse then Central Governments will be able to monitor money flows. A possible outcome for your theory?

What do you think?

Gold falling off a cliff suggests the flight to quality is stocks at these prices?

Grahamite2

You need to take that up with the Wold Health Organisation.

They are setting the agenda and riving the strategy,

If anyone steps out of line there is uproar

ON the money, my guess is that they will turn the debt into 100 year payback. Same as WW1 it will be on the books at negative rates.

Biological systems are not simplistic. Survival of a virus is as important to the virus as survival of any other biological system.Masks may accelerate the mutation rate and so humans actually become more susceptible.Think about it. Or study some real biology.

The strategy at the moment IMO is vaccine and try to stop transmission, and keep the economy going as best we can. And hoping that it will mutate to something less dangerous.

But it isn't bloody dangerous! In the scheme of things it's insignificant.

And destroying productive business while handing out limitless public money for doing nothing is not keeping the economy going at all.

Face masks and gloves.


The literature does not offer a clear consensus on the effect of wearing non medical face masks in public

It seems likely that face masks help prevent infecting others ,but only to a limited extent
(Both claims wrong)


If everyone follows the basic rules it is not necessary to wear a face mask
(Again wrong)

OMT is not issuing a general recommendation to wear face masks in public spaces.
(Again wrong)





Clear evidence Masks , at worst, reduce viral load.
That's even with the most basic mask.

And the better the mask you have,with decent P100 filters(or higher) the safer YOU, the wearer, will be.

It's not difficult to understand.

And Reality will come to this scenario in about 4to8 weeks. Then moves to normal, real normal. Just my view.
