Err, the European Central Bank first introduced the idea back in 2014, this was on the cards well before the referendum! Presumably the rain due at the end of the week is down to the same cause?

I simply wish basic finance was on the national curriculum, in essence, the City has reacted exactly as predicted and the Bank knows exactly how to react. Essentially, it means we are on plan; so its good.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Jul 27 2016, 10:45 AM) Does this mean they'll pay out to for us borrow money?? In purist economic terms, yes, that could make sense in some cases. Arguably, that's just what happens when a shareholder buys into a company that isn't paying dividends and letting its share price fall. Or, for instance, an angel backing a theatrical production, which critics say might not make it. Simply a place to put 'spare capital', in the hope of future big profit, or some other intangible benefit. Another good example were the investors in rural railways, most of whom didn't see their money again - except by much cheaper coal and transit costs in their village.

Europe doesn't seem to be doing too badly, after all the French are building us our next nuclear power plant. You want to take the credit, but will you also taking the blame if the whole Brexit thing doesn't go well, when it starts?

EdF is a nationalised industry. If the French really believed Brexit was such a stupid idea and the U.K. was on the verge of financial collapse, do you really think they'd invest so much over such a long period?

We'll always need electricity, however bankrupt the country is and we can't brexit from the French owning our power stations if we're broke. Smart move by the French.

Smart move by the French. Some logic! Would you honestly lend money to someone on the verge of bankruptcy? By the way, if we do decline as much as you suppose, electricity demand will drop and EdF won't make a cent. 7% of demand isn't actually that big. Similarly, the French trades unions ain't too pleased that investment money is leaving the Country. We might be seeing the flames of Frexit being blown, the President's position isn't so stable and elections are coming. Officially, just like the UK before the referendum was 'for' Europe...... Personally, I don't think we've heard the last of Hinckley. It's an unsustainable project that we don't actually need. Plus I've never been keen on having something as dangerous as a nuclear plant controlled by foreign owners.

Smart move by the French. It's all Amperes, Volts, Joules, and Coulombs - nasty European ideas.
