I really can’t understand why the US would want to critique the UK as we are a frontline partner with the US in many areas ( and that’s boots on the ground dying together kinda partner) the only issue the US had with the UK was over Suez where they were a little tetchy for a bit.

I am not sure why you're so obsessed (no offense meant) with Israel's relevance. Israel's relevance is a red herring, I don't remember anyone arguing with you whether Israel will or will not remain relevant, frankly I don't think anyone cares. In fact Israel does not want to be "relevant"...

The ME is changing and Israel is now no longer the Cold War bastion it once was and its really only Iran and Syria that remain as viable enemies and I would say that Iran is going flip over into something resembling a democracy in the next couple of years and Syria feeling left out will...

You can switch doctors or consultants here in the UK if your not satisfied. Anyways you and I will be a long time buried before there is ever a real "Free Market" economy in the US. I was once nearly tempted to go Stateside to fish but when I worked out tax and health insurance I was about...

No real comparison here as you have people escaping from privately run mental homes and prisons fairly frequently.

I have not called Israel poor but rather resource impoverished there is something of a difference between the two. Scotland has historically been a low wage area as are many other areas of Northern Britain, Israel is a nation state Scotland however is a region of the United Kingdom. No pissing...

Can't say I have had any real trouble with European banks and if there has been an issue I can usually get someone on the phone at my local branch to help me out. US banks easy enough to deal with though they do make you jump through hoops when your transferring cash out of the USA trying to...

So are the Israeli troops, except their battlefield is much bigger, their stakes are much higher, they fight terrorism in their own backyard, they started way before you got involved and will likely fight long after you will have run from Afghanistan with your tail between your legs (just like...

We have ID theft in the UK but for some reason its not as widespread as the US maybe the KYC rules are followed a bit more rigidly over here. A friend was asked for SSN, copy of his drivers license and of course CC for a NY gym membership guess what 6 weeks later somebody opens an account at...

Completely different Lloyds bud and the structure of the Lloyds you may be concerned about has been revamped some time back. All is OK

Scotland is part of the UK and contributes manpower to the armed forces of the UK, Scottish troops are fighting and dying alongside US troops in the war on terror, no small feat. I like Israel and the Israelis but small resource impoverished countries such as Israel do not add up to much in...

This seems the norm when a Chinese company takes a stake in an operation, I was speaking to friend who was involved in a far east pipeline project with Chinese involvement. A simple job such as slinging pipe for lifting normally takes 2-4 guys however the Chinese insist that 12 men are on the...

Israel although a pleasant little state is not worth anything compared to the oil bearing states. No resources, no importance.

Care to expand on this theory.

The FLAK88 moniker represents this guys main area of interest and that WW2 German AAA units which were armed with 88mm Flak. This is just another crude attempt to smear someone that has been critical of Israel and to to be very fair HRW publish lots of reports on Arab and Islamic states. Thefact...

Markets are very fond of stability or at least the prospect of stability and many think that President Obama can deliver it. I really cannot understand why so many people on here get their panties in a twist over who is President as it seems to change very little in the markets.

Trade much do you.

I have never had a trading plan though I do have rough sketch of a money management plan. I just feel more comfortable moving with the natural ebb and flow of the markets rather planning trades. The downside is monitoring a large amount of data so as to move with that ebb and flow in step.

This guy was collecting AAA stuff while he was in the DIA he also wrote a book about collecting. Anyone with a working brain will understand how deep the DIA probes when they recruit you and will boot you without hesitation if found to suspect or lacking in any. Anyways the print of the Iron...

Other than the odd heckle are the Republicans actually singing from the same song book these days I see the same disarray amongst the Republicans as I saw with the Conservatives after they were ousted by Labour in the UK.
