My money's on the USA to win. Lower debt to GDP ratio, China got richer off the back of the West outsourcing production/Manufacturing to it. China has far more to lose than the USA has in the trade war. And the Chinese government doesn't give a sh*t about it's people. They can't be voted out.

Agree with that 100%

Not a chance mate, the Chinese are known to lie about their economic data. And the main reason their economy has grown to the level it has is globalisation and the outsourcing of production/manufacturing to them from rich Western countries. What the West giveth, the west can taketh away... as Trump is currently doing.

Debt to GBP at over 250%, China is a ticking economic time bomb. The USA started proceedings to invade Iraq after Saddam priced Iraqi oil in the EURO... The USA is not going to allow that to happen.

"it was a joke JMO"

haha ok ;-)

$19,891 was Bitcoin's high on the 17/12/2017. Since that peak the lowest it's hit was $5755 on the 24/06/2018 that's a 71% drop in 6 months.

Can you imagine companies like Miners trying to hedge for that sort of drop in the value of the currency their commodities are priced in? Or Oil companies doing the same... or pretty much any business on the planet currently using the USD?

They won't adopt the Renminbi either because China is one big bubble about to burst. Debt to GDP is over 250%... and there's a trade war... if that escalates in a big way and starts hammering China badly the countries financial system will collapse.

The EURO is dodgy too, since there's question marks over the EU's existence and various countries in the EU are economic basket cases. The USA's debt is also crazy, but at the moment it can easily service it's debts with it's GDP.

Bitcoin will never take over, governments around the world will just legislate against it if their respective countries can't have a central bank controlling the supply of money. That won't stop it from existing, but it will take it away from the mass market if businesses are not allowed to accept it.

What the Bitcoin that went from $19,666 a coin to $6,300 in less than a year, no offence mate we normally agree on most things but not a chance in hell will that happen. It's monstrously unstable. Even businesses have started to "stop" accepting it. How can they plan ahead when it bounces about like a yoyo.

"Be interesting when they lose reserve currency status."

Who's going to take over from them then? China... with 250%+ Debt to GDP not a chance. The EURO looking like the EU is on shaky foundations? Not a chance either.

The Social Democrats have gained in the recent polls, all 3 parties are running fairly level. If previous polls are anything to go by, the Right Wing support has been underestimated.

The Social Democrats are Right Wing too. And they have actually called for an In/Out EU referendum like we had. If they take power in September, looks like Sweden could be the next country to vote out of the EU.

If the Social Democrats take power, that will be the 8th EU member state to vote in a Right Wing government. "The tide is turning" indeed. 2CV

Some of the polls the Social Democrats actually came out top.

I don't blame them, a population of only 10,000,000 with 600,000 Islamic immigrants coming to their country... they are sick to death of immigration too.

You're really convinced by these polls aren't you. Were you just as convinced about the same polls that got it so badly wrong all the way up till the referendum?

The Independent and Guardian are both poor quality toilet paper. I prefer quilted.

haha, I hadn't checked the odds. Treason May is being naughty again, trying to tie him up in an investigation so it's harder for him to become leader. I think the guy is just out for himself to be honest, but he would be better than her. She's an absolute joke, and a liar too.

"and nothing much has gone right so far."

Yeah due to a Weak, Lying, Traitor Remainer being Prime Minister.

A lefty who is rather fond of pigs.

How much money are they sending out of the country LeftyFax?

Money that will never be seen by the British economy again, I notice none of that is included in the take away side. Stevie Wonder could see that it will be a massive figure.

LeftyFax is Scottish? Is he/she living in Scotland?

I'm Scottish, but I live in England and I've seen with my own eyes the ridiculous levels of immigration. I go up to Scotland most months, and it's obvious it's had nowhere near the amount of immigration even as a percentage of population than England has.

If LeftyFax lives in Scotland, he/she lacks the subjective life experience of living in England to be able to effectively comment on the insane numbers of immigrants coming to the UK.

"A Conservative Party investigation into Boris Johnson is a "show trial" and is being used to stop him becoming leader, Jacob Rees-Mogg has claimed."

Why would he be saying that if there wasn't an imminent Leadership contest coming? The show trial is obviously not going to last until 2022 at the next general election. So presumably this is being done to tie him up in a possible disciplinary investigation whilst an imminent leadership contest takes place.

I think October is going to be a very interesting month.

"When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser".

A nerve has been hit LeftyFax has no come back. They don't have the figure for money sent out of Immigrants bank accounts back to their home countries. They can't get it either, because the study hasn't been done, the stats are incomplete and LeftyFax now knows it.

The penny had dropped. LeftyFax comes on here to take potshots at people because they have no control over how politics is going in this country. The population is finally starting to wake up and dominate this leftist garbage that has dragged everyone's standard of living down.

LeftyFax,

Is resorting to poor attempts at insults because they've been checkmated on the amount of money leaving the country from immigrants bank accounts, going back to their respective countries. You can't give me the figure because it hasn't been studied.

Probably because stupid Leftists such as yourself would call the people wanting to do it Racists etc. You and your ilk is the reason this country is in the mess it's in. And you don't like the general population starting to take back control. I love it... because no matter how much you Remoan and spout your leftist piffle... The Right wing is growing and winning more elections than the Left Wing. :-)

"Best bet ? Read the reports."

LeftyFax,

You can't tell me the amount because it doesn't exist. The stats are BS because they are incomplete. Have some common sense... clearly a lot will be leaving the country and going back to their home countries. If British workers were earning the money, it would stay here. If British workers were doing the jobs, there would be less demand for housing...

1. Increase wages dramatically for unskilled "British" Workers.
2. Lower immigration big time.
3. The increase prices from increased wages will be offset by lower rents and mortgages due to lower demand for property.

It's not rocket science.

LeftyFax,

If the government would make nursing education free and actually train up enough British DR's instead of importing 3rd world Dr's in for free who are disproportionately responsible for far more Medically Fit To Practice tribunals than British DR's.

Then we wouldn't be in this mess with staff shortages.
