PEOPLES' VOTE MARCH - LONDON 20TH OCTOBER 2018

I participated in the Peoples' Vote march in London on Saturday 20th October with other members of the British in Italy group. 

The Bond market with ultimately take Italy down...

Taking back control...

Possible Scudo Fiscale?

The Fiscal Shield may return. It sounds like something from the new Avengers movie series. 

Italy goes BOOM!

For Italian politics it looks like it will be the continuation of an interesting battle with the EU, games with the world financial markets and internal cat fighting between the various factions. 

BREXIT It's not just Deal or NO deal

The urgency of the moment is certainly Brexit and we will see whether a deal can be reached with the EU this autumn.  

My soap box moment on taxes!

I love my soap box moment. You see, I have been wanting to write this formally for a long time but never really had the opportunity to do so. I would go on record as saying that I am actually in favour of the radical overhaul of the Italian tax system and whilst I see this proposed flat tax regime as being a little unequally distributed, I do think it’s necessary and despite what the bankers, economists and bureaucrats tell us, I actually think it would be a good thing for Italy. 

All this talk of a flat tax

The current political environment in Italy is one which I find very interesting, notably in how it is perceived in foreign media and presented to us through the usual media outlets.
