Is the United Kingdom in danger of being exiled to the island of misfit debtors? For most of the past year, anxiety about overextended governments has focused on the southern European countries derisively known as the PIGS -- for Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. But the PIGS may soon have company.

Sunday

ADVISERS to the government are working on a secret plan that could allow the state to start cutting its shareholdings in British banks just weeks after the general election. The plot would see the Treasury create convertible gilts - government bonds that could be exchanged for shares in the banks once certain price targets are met.

For years, we have assumed that trade and globalisation are an inevitable part of the landscape. They are not. China and Germany exploit the global system without accepting reciprocal responsibilities to manage it. It cannot go on. The emerging consensus in America is that only strong-arm tactics will persuade them to change, thus the case for tariffs to leverage the international economic rebalancing that is otherwise being avoided.
If the US declares economic war on China, we should all tremble

Intraday

Midday Market Overview

HVE still going down. SP is now no more than an option on survival. However.... LLOY has just announced that HVE is one of four companies set to share in in a 360 million programme of bank work over the next two years. Just 10% would be 36 million. Current market cap is errr... just 3 million. I don't think that the bank would use a company that was about to go bust.

RKH 44.50p - 9p

now recovering fast
