Clouds on the horizon - Non Brexit thread :)

Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

Add to that the new Italian Govt. and their monetary policies which are looking reckless and putting them on a collision course with the EU and there are certainly some storm clouds on the horizon.

Would that be the same IMF which completely failed to foresee the 2008 financial crash?

Mrs Thatcher’s legacy - assets sold, oil and gas taken too quickly, no funds built and what seemed to be prosperity, was based on mortgaging the country - but some think she saved the nation!

We will never agree - but it shoujld be easy to see why both sides believe what they do....

I would not be so pessimistic. The price of gold today is about €33,000 per kilo which is roughly halfway between the peak and the trough over the last 10 years. If things were as bad as you make out, there would be a rush on gold as a safe haven.
