British Banks Go Offshore, So Why Shouldn’t You Follow says Lee Byers?
British banks were bailed out to the tune of billions of pounds worth of taxpayers’ hard earned revenue – and the bail out has arguably left the country bankrupt. The new government coalition (the ConDems!) are doing what they can to fill the black hole in the economy, but it’s akin to shedding tears to fill an ocean.
The latest news is that they’re thinking of levying a charge against trades done by British listed banks in an effort to raise billions of pounds worth of tax income – but guess what, the British banks are now all set to go offshore to avoid as much of this charge as is possible. So if banks can go offshore, why shouldn’t you follow?
The fact of the matter is, the banks that are going to be able to best avoid this charge have trading books centred elsewhere in the world – so if you’re an expatriate whose life is centred elsewhere in the world, you too can potentially go offshore to legitimately avoid . . . → Read More: British Banks Go Offshore, So Why Shouldn’t You Follow says Lee Byers?

Question by MikeW: Are the figures real for antiques in pawn stars?
In the tv show pawn stars they always show some old pieces of paper documents, money, coins, even some old toys and other antiques going for thousands of dollars.
Is it real? Do their figures correlate with the actual market prices? E.g. in one of the episodes they show a bond paper from 1775, printed on a paper with British Crown’s watermarks and it’s worth $ 25K

The Implication of Drug Abuse in British Economy
Drug abuse is a serious problem of modern society. It influences almost all areas of social and individual life of the person. It has negative impact on the criminal situation, economic and cultural level of the country. In my article I will centre on the negative impact drug abuse has on the British economy and the way government resists this problem.
When study the impact of drug industry on the economy of the country and each separate individual it’s necessary to take into account three main categories of illicit drugs. First category consists of illicit drugs which are produced from natural products and these group includes such drugs as morphine, heroine and opium.

How the Richest People lose Money and how you can avoid it
The concept of money wasting is as old as the earth itself. The pains that come with knowledge of losing your hard earn income in anything that do not have economic value is as much excruciating as that of losing someone dear to your heart. What blood is to the body is what money is to everyday living. When the volume of cash either in your wallet or bank reduces, somehow your chances of survival begin to shrink. British scientists have discovered that losing money or even anticipating such a loss, stimulates a cavity of the brain called striatum, a circuit responsible in the processing of fear and pain.
The findings, from a team at university college London, suggest that the concept of “financial pain” is a real response to economic loss that similar neurological roots to physical pain.

The Ups and Downs of the British Real Estate Market
The five ghastly “Jack the Ripper” murders took place in an area less than a quarter square mile in size. Houses in this haunting and decrepit no man’s land straddling the City and metropolitan London could be had for 25-50,000 British pounds as late as a decade ago. How things change!
The general buoyancy in real estate prices in the capital coupled with the adjacent Spitalfields urban renewal project have lifted prices. A house not 50 yards from the scene of the Ripper’s last – and most ghoulish – slaying now sells for over 1 million pounds. In central London, one bedroom apartments retail for an outlandish half a million.
According to research published in September 2002 by Halifax, the UK’s largest mortgage lender, the number of 1 million pound homes sold has doubled in 1999-2002 to 2600. By 2002, it has increased elevenfold since 1995. According to The Economist’s house price index, prices rose by a further 15.6% in 2003, 10.2% in 2004 and a whopping 147% in total since 1997.
