The ONLY thing that matters where the International Finance sector is concerned is the probability of interest being paid on Bonds and Gilts and on-time redemption when they mature.

We could be black and walking backwards while chowing down on unicorns testicles as far as the International Finance sector is concerned. It couldn't care less.

Re: Britain as a Failed State

All I got out of that newspaper report was the feeling that here was another Newspaper relishing the chance to make a few bucks by rubbishing Britain.

There are areas I could agree with, if only the crappy newspapers could spot that the problem is not being caused by the people of the UK.

Are they not missing the fact that the whole problem is not Brexit - It's the way our Parliament is mis-managing it.

Bad reporting - Rubbish conclusions.

Give that newspaper 1 out of then.

Yes, we should ask the Remainers to give us a break!

There would be far less problems, in my opinion, if the Remainers were not attempting to overcome the Majority vote.

Once I read that I didn't need to read any more.
The US will never be the same after Trump. He has established some precedents that can't be undone. If we are silly enough to reelect him, then we will get the government we deserve.

Brucy, you confuse assumptions with actualities and those
assumptions appear to be made by think tank representatives
whose opinions are swayed by the agendas of the funders of said
think tank?
This practice is widespread in uk Brucy, and has become a lucrative
way to obtain an income, ( you may notice l use the term obtain )
I agree uk has become diminished over the last 40 odd yrs, ever
since membership of the beneficial? EU??
