> a less predictable, stable, and effective policy framework in the UK

The UK is an unstable country. Right.

Blackball all you want, you & your globalist pals are done.

It feels good - we can start to shake the tree of globalism with real effect. I feel like a revolutionary at this point.

something is wrong here.

Downgrading after two days?? It seems they would give them 30 days minimum before taking such a move.

The world banking cartel doesn’t like being ignored. They will soon have their noses bent even more badly when the US elects Trump.

I agree. Sovereignty does allow a nation-state to find solutions to its problems. Instead of being slaughtered by the other greedy members demands in ANY “pact,” independent countries usually fare better handling their own affairs.

Globalists are determined to punish Britain severely enough to scare other countries away from following the Brexit path.

How dare they throw a monkey wrench into the gears of the New World Order!

Just like they tried to do to Iceland, with dire warnings, threats, etc.

And now Iceland is doing so much better. BTW, they JAILED the bankers there!!!

Well, who could doubt S&P and the other esteemed ratings agencies after their ‘performance’ rating mortgage bundles leading up the the housing and financial crisis of 2008. Did we ever get any explanation as to how they missed that one so completely?

Manipulation by the bankers and global elites to scare off other countries from asserting their independence.

These are the same rating agencies that certified the junk mortgages were AAA investments.

Well said. Did those very same agencies do the same to the Euro? Because the Euro is going to be taking a beating for a much longer time than the Pound. If the Euro wasn't similarly downgraded, the rating agencies are in cahoots with some financial or political interest.

And futures are up by almost 200 as I write this - manufactured crisis where even more money was bled from the markets by the uber-rich.

I think the European Union is rated AA+ by S%P but I believe Germany and France are rated AA . They also rated RIG bonds (Swiss outfit) as BB- not long ago and the bonds are up 60 % in just a few months. Rating systems are panic and politically driven.
In a short while it will all be fine while some of us will take advantage of some great buying opportunities.

-- The banking establishment punishing Britain. How dare they resist assimilation. --

Moody's downgraded the UK in 2013, too. But, this move by the ratings agencies benefits from having some context, in particular, what are the ratings and ratings histories of the EU as a whole? Germany? France?
