Bitcoin is a money transfer system, so an increase in price merely indicates confidence in the system There is not an economy that needs a low price to stimulate exports, so no price is too high. Just my opinion, I'd be interested to hear from people who disagree with me.

ISIS was created because the US removed Gaddafi, now they want to make the situation 100 times worse by removing Assad. It's time the US tried to maintain its decaying homeland, instead of squandering billions that it can't afford by supporting proxy wars to destabilise Europe. Russia and China are becoming stronger as a result of this neglect by the US gevernment. Russia now has better weapons despite the massive investment of the US.

Putin has changed Russia - he's given capitalism to farmers for example.
You can't have capitalism without capital, and the west is busy transferring wealth into the hands of the bankers. They don't invest in industry any more.

Given the support that Turkey has given to ISIS, it doesn't seem a logical thing to do. Do you think thet the attack was Western generated to push Turkey to close borders with Syria?

Now that the UK is getting back its independance, and can look forward to a period of sustained growth, I'm concerned that the US and NATO will mess it all up with its interventionist policies. If Killery gets in, will she attempt to force a "regime" change in the new UK?

It's America that is the agressor, and a threat to European peace via NATO.
Thank goodness Russia is there as a peace keeper. The US doesn't seem to realise how it is harming itself with sanctions against Russia, and all the proxy wars that the US creates.

The southern states should combine, and break free from the corrupt bankers and politicians in the North.

They could call it the American Confederation.

and it is The American department of Offence that created the Islamic refugee crisis.

Brexit was not a stand against immigration, it was a stand against globalisation. I'm not sure that that is a right wing attitude.

I vote remain

This isn't a Brexit thread is it?

I'm heterosexual, and the earth moves for me when I have sex.

I can understand why you posted that, and I agree with your motivation. However, there is an element of truth in the statement. We are forced to buy foreign goods because government policy and EU regulations have decimated British industry. Now that we are out of the EU, lets get on with rebuilding our manufacturing base.

The simple answer is that Canada is still associated with the UK.

The UK is halving, so expect profits to rise.

It will be back. They've been buying assets like mad. They own the Royal Mail for example.

It's starting to look good for the UK. If there is a second referendum, then leave could end up with a bigger majority, and tht would screw the party that called it.

The big question now, is what hppens to UK interest rates, and the banking crisis. shares are down 25%

Medtronic is to buy Heartware International for $1.1 billion - that's a 92% premium. It seems a lot of companies and countries believe in the future of Britain, and are prepared to invest money to be a part of it.

Isn't it time to stop punishing tax payers over bank's reckless lending.

The UK has never really been united. I'm English, and British is now such a devalued description, that only the immigrants seem to use it with conviction. I think the Scots, Irish, Welsh and even the Cornish seem to feel the same way. If it turns out that only England comes out of the  EU, then I am happy with that. I'd be sad to lose the contributions made by the other members of the UK, but getting out of the EU and TTIP must be our number one priority. Actually this tribalism is common in many countries - look at Spain and France for example. It's even in America. When I was over there, some people would think of themselves as Texans ( for example ) first, and Americans second.

One of the reasons we voted for Brexit was the government's monetary policy. In the next few days, we will see if the US and the new UK switch to fiscal policies.
