2020 vision!? Visual acuity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I always wondered why they called it that.

With the UK next big vote set for 2020, there might be one before, it seems more appropriate than ever. And by then we will only be ten years from 2030, how exciting www.globalgoals.org

Brexit fears turn Mexico into new EM whipping boy

Turbulance no doubt either way but will the financial system punish other countries for brexit? Is that global justice?

Brexit fears turn Mexico into new EM whipping boy

The odds of 10/1 brexit remind me of the odds given for a majority at the last election, people should have taken the puint!

Brexit

The video section here is quite useful. See lower right hand side!







Brexit

Painful choices still hang over Greece - FT.com#axzz4AnJvmypQ#axzz4AnJvmypQ

Contagion post Greek, Irish bail outs seems to have been averted for Portugal, Spain and Italy, but has it and at who's expense?







Ive no idea how this impacts on the Brexit issue and the credibility of the EU and Euro but it certainly looks like a matter of time before some camp or other comes clean!


"Meanwhile, the IMF has to decide on its own position. It has now thrown down the gauntlet to the eurozone. Germany wants the IMF in, but not the IMF’s demands on debt. So Berlin must choose. If the IMF does not get the concessions it seeks, it is honour bound to withdraw from the Greek mess. It should do so. It might be unable to save Greece. But it can at least save itself."

Brexit poll spurs UK market anxiety - FT.com#axzz4AnJvmypQ

“Were Brexit to occur we see a real risk of a sterling crisis against the backdrop of twin fiscal and current account deficits,” said Mark Dowding, co-head of investment grade debt at BlueBay Asset Management.
