    As does you dragging it out when I've clearly said I don't disagree with his version and that I'm not going to elaborate on mine. :emoticon-0113-sleep

    Though for once I agree, this isn't even a pop at Labour or the "loony left".

    That's bollocks Hull and you know it. I like the fact that people like you will openly challenge others comments, this leads to healthy debate.
    However, you seem to revel in "tit for tat" meaningless retorts which then run into page after page of mind numbingly boring crap, that other users have to wade through.

    Fine. It wouldn't be a particularly good forum if every reply was "I disagree and I know more about this than you but I'm not willing to say what it is but I assure you you're wrong".

    So I'll take that as a 'no' to you having anything to say on the EU.

    Prove me wrong, here's your opportunity to demonstrate your profound knowledge and understanding of the EU/brexit situation that leaves you hanging around hour after hour.

    Watch everyone, Stan's going to show us exactly what he knows, it's bound to be enlightening.

    Off you go Stan, the floor is yours, the world awaits. <ok>

    It's how he fills his days and nights. Other posters come and go. Dull is always here writing essays from 7am til 2am.

    I didn't say he was wrong. I did say this was pointless.

    Prove me wrong while I refuse to elaborate on why Tobes's factual account of Roland Gift is wrong. You silly, lonely old tart <laugh>

    Treble is really creepy with his obsession with me. I'm not sure it's a good idea him being allowed near children.

    Don't be deflecting, this bit is about you showing an eagerly awaiting world the in depth knowledge you have of the EU/brexit situation that leaves you hanging around here hour after hour.

    This is your stage, your chance to shine. Don't blow it, impress the world.

    Stand by everyone...

    The failure is in inadequate regulation.

    You must understand that the people who create these 'exotics' as they're called, or derivatives to those outside, are in many cases PhD's in applied maths from Oxbridge and such like. These are the guys who are called the rocket scientists. They use their skills to create ever more complex and complicated ( and in many cases, highly volatile and high risk) strategies. Very profitable when they go as they predict the markets will go, but explosively dangerous when they don't!

    Now, this is all fine so long as it's properly regulated. It wasn't, and still isn't! Why? Well, firstly, let's go back to the core of that problem, you can't regulate what you don't begin to understand. So, there's the heart of the problem. Why don't the compliance depts of the banks and the FSA employ people who do understand these products? Quite simply because they are paid millions a year. Unless and until the regulators step up and lure some of these people to turn gamekeeper, the problem will continue.

    Why be evasive? If you're making the effort to reply, why not just demonstrate why they're wrong (or limited, as you say) rather than tell every person who says you're being evasive or dragging a conversation out that really you aren't and they're all wrong?

    It's not a good idea you being allowed near Greggs but there you are.

    Where did I say he was wrong?

    This really IS pointless. You're arguing a claim I never made, and expecting me to defend it. In doing that YOU are cluttering the thread up in the very way you're complaining about.
