Carrefour shares down on riots
As Europe's social stability frays the economy suffers
Having social order and public safety is extremely valuable
neoliberalism, but not as we know it!
The UK’s public sector debt has officially surpassed £3 trillion, on a provisional basis. It is striking how rapidly £2 trillion pounds has been added to the national debt. ONS: “Public sector net debt first exceeded £2 trillion in June 2020, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, having first exceeded £1 trillion in February 2010 following the global financial crisis.”
A lot of insulting posting about Sir Roger Scruton from people who are cognitively and spiritually his inferiors. Not nice!
Last week @TheBanker ran my story exposing growing money laundering and sanctions evasion risks in the US banking sector, due to a loophole allowing valid payment cards to be issued online without identity checks.
The story was also featured in The Banker's chief ed's weekly roundup on Saturday morning: thebanker.com/content/9259fa…

BBC Radio 4 news this morning highlighting Macron’s laxness and failure to put down the riots. Life in old dog yet.

Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.
Great Britain needs a state capture commission like they had in South Africa

Fortress Britain is the only way left. And every country that wants to remain civilised must become a fortress at least for the foreseeable future. We are in a sub-zero sum game where every move causes some pain.
Western governments are missing a big opportunity to stabilise their awful public debts with stablecoins. The Americans are on it but Trump’s family interests have polluted and delayed the idea.
I repeat: Great Britain is being looted today in ways that would make hyenas blush. Tantamount to Eastern Europe in the 90s.

Unbelievable. At 9 PM on a Friday night, Trump just waived nearly every sanction the Lindsey Graham bill imposed on Russia. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…
Old Communist saying: when you start an investigation make sure you don’t end up incriminating yourself.
Police assess Palestine Action post by national security adviser's wife bbc.in/4zCNScu
A few days ago there were feral kids throwing bits of litter at each other like snowballs in my area of East London.
We are in Cyberpunk and we need to start thinking accordingly.
Russia has for months now decimated EU and NATO shipping in the Black Sea with zero repercussion. This is actual war, not hybrid.
