We Are Going To Have A Serious Crisis In The U.K.

We are going to have a serious crisis in the United kingdom. The U.K. has huge debts, the U.K has a huge balance of trade deficit, the U.K. has a huge government deficit and if Scotland leaves, which they say they might, that takes the oil, a lot of the oil. They are not going to leave the oil behind. England loses a lot of its income at that point and as that develops the City of London, the financial district will come under more pressure, the Europeans are already saying, "we are going to take our financial businesses away from London now. Paris, or Frankfurt or Amsterdam or same place else is going to take a lot of that business.

The U.K. is going to be like Portugal or Poland, those were great countries once upon a time.
