This is a good read from Louise Armitstead in the Telegraph. Check it out!

 

via UK exit from EU would be ‘loss/loss scenario’, warns Goldman Sachs – Telegraph.

 

The article cites Goldman Sachs:

 

Kevin Daly, part of the investment bank’s economic team, has concluded that a British departure from the EU would result in a “loss/loss scenario” in which both the UK and the rest of the bloc would be damaged.

 

Most interestingly Daly concludes that the UK is unlikely to leave the EC because that would require a referendum;  he argues that a pre-requisite for the referendum would be the Conservatives winning the next general election but that is discounted as he expects Labour to win.

 

Personally, with the stockmarket at a record high in London, I think that Mr. Daly is probably right.

 

Any thoughts?

Here is an excellent article by Jeremy Evens-Pritchard writing in the Telegraph. Check it out!

Heroic Spain is damned if it does, and damned if it doesn’t – Telegraph.

I very much identify with this article; Spain is a proud country with a very rich history. Sadly, Spain suffered huge damage under its previous Socialist Government and is now paying the price, namely severe austerity; the price was dictated by the troika of the ECB, IMF and the EC, all acting as a proxy for Germany.

Today we  have seen headlines of deepening recession in Europe and hard evidence linking austerity to increased suicides, yet still Germany is vetoing remedial action, namely relaxation of fiscal and monetary policies; fiscal loosening needs to start in Germany and monetary policy needs addressing by the ECB.
