However, Baron O’Neill, who advised David Cameron’s government, said on Tuesday that his former colleagues in the industry saw the push to a no-deal Brexit as a “chance to make some money.”

O’Neill told the BBC Radio 4 World at One programme that UK government figures “deliberately promoting the no-deal Brexit risk” were allowing traders to benefit.

“I’m pretty sure that a lot of big foreign exchange and hedge fund type people are… probably looking at what’s being said coming out the UK as almost close to a free lunch,” O’Neill said.

“The world I was in a lot of them are saying thank goodness for Boris, he’s giving us a chance to make some money.”

Hopefully they'll lose their shirts if it's all cancelled, cements my view that capitalism has no place in a globalised economy.

Ok back from my small vacation and here we go :D

What a load of drivel...newsflash market volatility gives some big winners (and losers). Oh and it's got brexit in there and Boris... awesome. :D

Spin it how you want we now have a PM who isn't ****ing about he's making a firm decision and sticking to it. I say fair play to him, if he turned round tomorrow and said no fck off we are not leaving the EU this is why i would still support him, what i can't stand is some faggot leader to scared to challenge anyone in case they're a woman or a lesbian or a Jew or whatever. Crack on Boris.

First whats causing the market volatility - lol - our wreckless approach to the cliff edge.

Oh no you wouldn't support Boris if he cancelled Brexit, it negates your first ponit "making a decison and sticking to it". So in the space of one sentence you contradicted yourself.

Think you need a few more days off. I hope the holiday was worth it. :mrgreen:

What do you mean by that. Capitalism and Globalism are incompatible?

Because it globalises the ponzi scheme, after all capitalism is winner takes all, bad enough in a single market, disastrous in a global one. Been proven to lead to disorderly collapses in society.

On paper, that is kind of true.

But the reality is that the vast majority of countries are mixed economies, neither capitalist nor socialist.

The UK is a mixed economy.

The strive for profit generates innovation -which is only possible in private hands.

If you remove the opportunity for ambition, you remove innovation......which is why North Korea doesnt lead the world in technology

Regulation is needed to reach a fair compromise between allowing those with ambition to succeed and the need for rules to ensure society is fair.


We are in a new age of the digital world and automation.......which are changing the rules.

The digital age has removed physical borders, it makes regulation far more difficult.
