Ok does anyone have a reason why prison colonies are worse than prisons?

Kindly ping me if so

@Festive_Chap Prison colonies are better they eventually become fully fledged 1st world nations Australia

Isn't communism also a form of imprisonment?

Not necessarily

Communism is slavery, yes

And commies should be enslaved.

Perfect match.

nah capitalism is slavery, people have to work for money... in communism people work for free

markit manufacturing figures for the UK just came out

slightly better than expected .. got a perfect 50 score

@Grave only because the populace was Brit

this is sudden.. like in the last 5 minutes

as if soros did what he did last time and tried to crash the BoE 😛

Well, I can't find any UK/EU news it might be a reaction to. Just more of the same as the last few days.

hmm could be a stop run

is market manipluation like that not illegal?

its not really market manipulation with fx .. you cant really manipulate it, unless you're the government/treasury of said currency...

all it is, is people swapping currency .. you cant really stop that

its not like stocks, where people can have inside knowledge of a big announcement or something

however, planning to cause panic is something that could be illegal

esp. if it's someone like soros where could very easily fall into an attempt to swing politics

we have a concept of terrorism which is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

the sticking point in the definition is "in the pursuit of political aims"

couldn't market manipulation "in the pursuit of political aims" be something that we could protect against

I dont think anyone could swing the £€ this much tbh
