Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.

Monday - Nikkei 225 index -12.4%, second largest fall on record

"Up the escalator, down the elevator shaft" - not dollar/yen, but US interest rates. Fed hiking cycles are often gradual - "measured pace", anyone? - but not easing cycles. This time is no different.

VIX volatility index - Wall Street's 'fear index' - surges above 65, its highest ever except for global financial crisis in 2008 and pandemic in 2020.
Higher than peaks of Asian crisis, LTCM, dotcom crash, 9/11, taper tantrum, US debt downgrade, Volmaggedon.
Panic or justified?

And what the hell is the owner of this site - who has bigged up Tommy Robinson and Paul Golding - doing tell us that “civil war is inevitable” in Britain?
