It's got to be true, some bloke on twitter said it.

Rees Mogg is an mp too…;)

It was Nick to be fair and he has an EU flag emoji so it’s got to be true.

Arsenal fan too.

On topic though, I highly doubt they amount to over 10% as claimed but happy to be shown otherwise l.

I want to know how much Chinese money and American money is in London, the idea that there is money in Europe from other continents is a bloody revelation.

He’s expressed an asset valuation as a percentage of the annual output of a country. In other words, complete bollocks even if his valuation is correct.

Worth a read. As we all know, the best hope of a satisfactory conclusion has always been from within Russia.

Good find dids - really interesting.

So the calculation he’s done is basically taken the value that Rees Mogg said had been sanctioned from the Russian banks and then applied that as a percentage of gdp.

He was quoting someone. I've tried to do a basic Google and couldn't get anything. We need to see a citation, and the asset classes to even make a basic inference of how important it is.

If that's true it must represent a huge part of the Russian economy.
If the UK won't act now the RoW must act against the UK to freeze those assets where they are.

Its a piece of propaganda. He is comparing Russian capital with UK annual GDP (I guess because he doesn't label the units used).
Russian deposits do not represent 10% of UK economy.

In one house we had two fires- posh huh.Second fire was for visitors.
The Olympic torch routine here was to use the crappy fire tongs to carry a burning coal from back to front of house to start the second fire.
The carpets were slowly replaced by rugs where the fire starter had cocked up and dropped a lighted coal.
The paper over the front of the fire was a real belter wasn’t it … a room full of acrid smoke for 10 minutes or so on occasions.
Also which FOC’s remember the fights at school using the coke pellets as missiles. Difficult to pretend you weren’t involved when the teachers or the janitor told you to show your hands.

All manner of items went on the fire like plastic, cardboard, potato peelings, tea bags etc.
Every house had it's very own incinerator & hardly any rubbish went out for the binman.
I would say happy days but i still spent most of my youth freezing my balls off & that was in the house
