This is the most recent production from Robert who has been associated with PB right from the start in March 2004 and, indeed, was the person who suggested to me in the first place to establish the site.

    Very good! I love these videos.

    Main lesson for me: never ever join the Euro. There is almost no way out.

    I really like these videos too. I watched the oil one last week and thought it was really interesting.

    Very interesting.

    It is the one thing that will do for the EU. If Italy goes, so does France. If France goes the whole thing goes.

    Merkel, I note, declined to give a ringing assurance that they would step up to help Italy in the event of a similar to Greece event.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. If Italy goes then Macron and his ilk would have no intention whatsoever of following them out.

    France is the largest holder of Italian debt outside Italy. It wouldn't be a choice and we have heard that the ECB may not be as accommodating as in the recent past.

    They absolutely would have a choice and the ECB would do anything to prevent France from falling out. The last thing the ECB would want is total collapse, if that takes being more accomodating than they ever have been then of course they will.

    We shall see. We are in to moral hazard territory here, as Merkel's response re Greece/Italy illustrated. They can't say they will bail out but they would have to but Germany (who else?) couldn't bail Italy out, let alone France. Italy's Target2 liabilities are now close to half a trillion Euros.

    I think there is a general money crisis on the cards: the emergence of crypto has the potential to circumvent conventional monetary policy, and helicopter money may have created conditions for a supercyclical recession, not just in the Euro but the Dollar (and Sterling, Yen... too). Meanwhile the massive increase in mis-allocated Chinese debt could lead to a best case scenario of the PRC stalled in the middle income trap and at worse a really disorderly unwinding of their entire banking system (although maybe WePay et al is already an alternative currency...). So what with Trumputin promoting a new world disorder we seem to be due a whole load of 1930s style fun and games. So the perfect time for a leadership vacuum in the UK.

    Mike - we went over this this morning. It is the lot of important people for their comments to be taken out of context ("..experts..", "..always sovereign..", "..nasty party..", "..no such thing as society..", etc).

    Good afternoon, everyone.

    Not watched the video yet (I shall presently) but if there's no Quitaly pun I shall be mildly disappointed.

    Edited extra bit: CE?!?!

    Mr. 1000, I do like you, but historical revisionist PC acronym abominations do make it difficult.

    Honestly.

    ‘Quitaly’ is a bit anglocentric - shouldnt we be using ‘Uscitalia’?

    Ciaout.
    Definitely!

    Mr. Mule, let's not forget the Austrian presidential election, whereby (on the first run) the ex-Green won by a tiny margin against the sceptical far right chap, only for 'voting irregularities' (turnout exceeding 100% in some places) emerged. The subsequent second run was delayed due to adhesive issues with the envelopes. In the end the ex-Green did end up winning but the road there was not a shining beacon of loveliness.

    Why would there be an election? A Tory leadership election, sure but not a GE. There's no real need for one.

    Some Tory MPs genuinely think it could happen and are preparing.

    I know he isn't liked by the Brexiteers, but having Bercow as the speaker is effectively another vote for the Gov't on european matters.
