BBC with this gem

Professor Ted Malloch says the euro could collapse in the next 18 months.

  • Would short the euro himself

  • Britain could agree a mutually beneficial free trade agreement with the US in as little as 90 (I like the cut of his jib)

  • Would be best for the US if Britain executed a clean break

  • Any attempt by the EU to block UK beginning negotiations with the US would be absurd "and like a husband trying to stop his wife having an affair"

This fellow gets my vote. If he gets a trade deal done in 90 days I'll buy him a pint when he's over.

My new best mate, The Prof.
