The highest risk

[Skean Dhude]

Ste,

If only the government were honest enough to admit that then there would be less of a problem. There are ways around everything but when you are lying to yourself about the issue there is nothing you can do. All junkies, including power junkies like Cameron, need to accept they have a problem to move on. Why anyone things government is any different is beyond me.

It is frightening but at least we have accepted and are moving towards doing what we can.

From another site I look at it was said that the Trader in question on the BBC is reported to be also selling dvd's and hosting seminars about how to make money when the markets are going down, worth bearing in mind that he may have a financial interest when weighing up the validity of what he says.

I'm not saying he's wrong, far from it, just pointing out that he may also have a vested interest.

I think even the most sceptical of people are now starting to realise that the system can't continue in the way it has been no matter what the politicians say, and it's anyones guess how rocky the road is going to be.

JD,

I don't see that as an issue. Good for him but I suspect he doesn't think it will crash as far as we are preparing for. When the government admits it then there will be a rush for things.

Apart from an economic collapse, I see the main threat as a Pandemic as we are long overdue one. Other problems are more local like the weather etc.

I dont buy into the 2012 crap, I leave that for ATS.

Economic collapse leading to extremist and repressive government ( the EU) is number one on my list. The EU is Orwells nightmare come true.

i have to agree with that eu a big problem for us all

Before Britain went into the EU, we traded with other non-EU countries and done well. We had the support of the Commonwealth, cheap goods from Australia, South Africa, N & S Rhodesia, NZ and Canada. We also traded with Scandinavia. They also supported us during both World Wars. When we went into the EU we virtually turned our backs on the Commonewealth. We virtually slapped them in the face. Its time to leave the EU and trade freely with the rest of the World again. Kenneth Eames

I remember how wool, butter, lamb, copper and bananas went up by 35% overnight when we joined the EEC

[Kenneth Eames]

You are absolutely right. The EU has proven to be a massive millstone aroung the necks of the Brits. And apart from the promise of a referendum before the General Election, the majority of the Parliament have renaged on the deal. We are unable to do anything about it. However the old saying is every dog has his day. Kenneth Eames.

The EU is getting too big, now we have the financial problems, eventually this whole stupid and fraudulent project will implode and cease to exist and we can get back to our own way of life.
